Market analyst Digitimes claims that AMD has decided to postpone the disclosure of the chips with the Zen 3 architecture, due to a lack of competition. That would mean that we no longer have to expect the chips this year.
Intel appears to be more or less stuck on its optimized 14nm nodes for quite some time. Although the 10nm process is operational and used in the Ice Lake and soon Tiger Lake processors, large-scale use of the production process does not seem to be the case at the moment. For the desktop it would even only be used from the generation after the next generation, Rocket Lake. AMD is reportedly going to introduce some new Ryzen 3000 chips tomorrow, which should be able to handle slightly faster clock speeds. As far as 10 nanometers is concerned, it makes sense for Intel to wait to use the node for servers and desktops, since the former have less margins and the latter are usually very expensive to produce.
It is clear that AMD has an edge, especially in terms of production costs and performance per watt. Intel does not seem able to make sufficiently competitive desktop chips in the near future, so for team red it is very wise from a strategic perspective to 'hit an Intel' and delay the launch. It was previously revealed that AMD was going to postpone the disclosure for a quarter to make the chips on TSMC's 5nm + node, which would go into mass production just before that. The new variants would therefore likely be more efficient and have smaller dies, which is clearly a good reason to make such a complex switch. Not much later, however, we saw on an official slide from AMD that the Ryzen 4000 CPUs will simply be made on TSMCs 7 nanometers.
However, Digitimes seems to have a point in terms of competitive advantage. Thinking about changing the production process seems very unlikely in the short term, but in the longer term, the benefits of 5nm + over the Ryzen and Epyc chips for desktops and servers could prove very beneficial. Digitimes also writes that Nvidia would be on track to launch its Ampere products. AMD wouldn't reveal the high-end Navi chips until Nvidia made its move.
