AMD "Zen 3" microarchitecture could be designed for the enhanced 7 nm+ EUV (extreme ultraviolet) silicon fabrication node at TSMC, which promises a significant 20 percent increase in transistor densities compared to the 7 nm DUV (deep ultraviolet) node on which its "Zen 2" processors are being built. In addition, the node will also reduce power consumption by up to 10 percent at the same operational load. In a late-2018 interview, CTO Mark Papermaster stated AMD's design goal with "Zen 3" would be to prioritize energy-efficiency, and that it would present "modest" performance improvements. 
 
Well the smaller the die size the more power efficient it can be but is this going to be the best bet for consumers. 

So, does that mean Zen 3 will be wider vs faster?

My R5 2400G is respectable enough for now. I am more interested in a better motherboard.

Computex runs from May 28 to June 1, 2019
 
It runs every year in Taiwan

yeppers....stepping stone in the near future of a hybrid C/GPU (2 in 1, per say) with HBM2 memory incorporated becoming the first C-GPU in the market
 
Oops! I spoiled the fun for some, sorry

I start to save money for DDR5 platform. That must be some great platform because after that I need period of 3-4 years where I can't invest in computers.
I want to build scale models of modern NATO/US/Germany military jets, tanks, helicopters, vehicles in size 1/48 and 1/35. That will cost me around 1500 euro with painting.
But I will not start that before I finish build of DDR5 platform. I must build something great without need to change nothing some time.
I only afraid 2022 will arrive and DDR5 will still not be available and my computer will become slow.
 
I thought optimization of games will go to 8-10 cores and than maybe to upgrade on i7-6900K/6950X when price drop. Now i7-6950X used cost little more than new i9-9900K.
But frequency dominate. 

AMD talk something about using DDR5 soon as possible.
But situation could change if they deal together to delay.
If Intel and AMD prepare both everything for DDR5 they could decide to deal and delay DDR5 for one more architecture, that's at least 2 years period.
My Mobo-CPU-Memory have 4.5 years.
 

Some rumors say 2020. Let's say 2021 would be nice.
That's 2 years. I really have no plans to upgrade before DDR5 because let's say ...people with 16GB DDR3 1866/2133MHz still are OK for gaming.
Example X79 i7-4930K OC to 4.5GHz still give nice performance in games. Cinebench is something else.
 
You see Hynix DDR5 6400MHz... probably 16GB per DIMM.

400 memory + 400 motherboard + 700 CPU, my plans.

yields are not that high 
i just saw yields for 7nm TSMC and it's below that
just don't believe everything you hear about
 
might be closer to 50% - the best the yields will get over time will be 66% (like 2 yrs from now)
that will be lower than 14nm yield rates
 
you think that is bad... try intel at 35% yield rates at 10nm
 
anyways the cost are 2x up and yeields are down that means prices will rise
and it's only going to get worse with the next die shrink
