It is a pity that they decided to wait until mid-2019 to release them to consumers. I was expecting a upgrade sometime in the next few weeks to a 3700x from my 2700x. :\
Cinebench always favours AMD (that and who cares about Cinebench) so I'd like to see some real world, independent, tests. Hope they beat Intel there!
Especially when you consider there is a strong possibility that the chip they used in the demo was the Ryzen 5 3600XWait, is that beating 9900k with a 8/16 configuration? In that case, impressive.
Edit: yes it is. 9900k is stock so 4.7GHz all cores.
Looking at the substrate on the Ryzen 3000 that Dr Su held up it looks like there are traces for another chiplet, The larger die is apparently the I/O segment and the smaller one is the actual core and if you look underneath there is room for another, Meaning a 16 core Ryzen AM4 part is quite possible.

Nah we can be pretty sure now that the leaked naming schemes, clock speeds, pricing, ect were false(If their ridiculous prices didn't already give that away), they don't really line up with what we've been shown or how positioning would place these chips, AMD aren't going to undercut Intel by hundreds of dollars if they're outperforming them. If this will be their top end chip on launch it'll probably be the 3700X again, it'd make most sense to bring out a 3820 and 3850 later given the 800 tier is now vacant between 8-core top end and Threadrippers bottom end (900 tier). Bringing 8-cores to the 600 tier would be a mess for marketing, given there's no way the fastest consumer processor on the market is going to launch at under £200.Especially when you consider there is a strong possibility that the chip they used in the demo was the Ryzen 5 3600X
