Intel killed 10 nm process.

I guess AMD will have very good year, next year

Possibly .
The rumor about Zen2 is this: It has slightly higher IPC than Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake, has equally high core clocks, but the lineup of Zen 2 will start from 8C/8T CPU, and will top out at 16C/32T on AM4 platform.
The design is still 8C/16T, and AMD will make similar approach as with SP4, and Rome(chiplets, FTW). Pretty darn good.
Ryzen 5 3400 SKU should have 8C/16T in this case, if we are going by measure of doubling the core counts of Zen1.

Who cares about Freesync for Nvidia?
Dude. 8C/16T CPU will cost 169$(or less). Give it 4.0/4.5 GHz core clocks, and you basically destroyed everything on the market. Rome - 64C/128T design, AM4 - 16C/32T design. Killing spree.
Someone who does not care about buying a G-Sync monitor but might buy an NVIDIA card.

People are still paying $400 for 6-core or 8 thread CPUs (but I don't see 9900K sales).
It seems there's a new FM2+ series (Carrizo APUs, there was only a CPU for Carrizo on this socket).
A6-7480
A8-7680
Carrizo has both DDR3 and DDR4 controllers, so it must be possible to package the dies as FM2+ or AM4 depending on demand.
There's still FM2+ stuff on Amazon's bestseller lists.
This means you're now getting AVX2 (2-cycle) APUs on FM2+ (the CPU already had it).
