Some new AMD Ryzen and Threadripper slides leaked, they confirm AMD will keep using the current AM4/TR4 sockets until at least the Ryzen 4000 series in 2020. VideoCardz reports we'll see Zen+ based chips this year, Zen 2 based models in 2019 and Zen 3 (unofficially Zen2+) processors in 2020.

The future Ryzen 4000 series will use an optimized 7nm process and will consist of "next-gen HEDT" chips for the extreme performance segment, "Vermeer" for the desktop market, "Renoir" for the mobile and desktop APU segment, and "Dali" as a low-end mobile APU.
