AMD claiming about a third of the desktop CPU market now and it is growing fast as AMD has released the new Ryzen and Vega platforms and recently claimed to release the most powerful CPU in ultra-thin Laptop market.  AMD may not continue with the name CPUs Pinnacle 7, 5, and 3 and may stick with Summit Ridge because of the huge success. Pinnacle Ridge is being built on a 12nm LP node versus 14nm with a performance uplift also power efficiency. Some Motherboard makers say AMD is prepping a new 400 series chipset, with X470 or B450 motherboards scheduled to hit store shelves in March 2018 as well. According to that 2020 AMD roadmap, Pinnnacle Ridge is for 2018, followed by Matisse (Zen 2) in 2019. It is being mentioned that Zen 2 will be built on a 7nm process, AMD is currently set to launch Zen 3 (7nm+) in 2020.

AMD in late Sept 2017 at Global Foundries Technology Conference announced that it will be improving its first Ryzen CPUs and Vega GPUs to 12nm LP technology next year (2018). The announcement came from the company’s Chief Technology agent Mark Papermaster. And when it is going to be produced? well it was mentioned that 12nm LP volume production will begin in the first quarter of 2018.
