Next CPU/Platform upgrade

Hey

So I was thinking about upgrading my cpu and mobo. Currently - MSI B450-M Gaming Plus + Ryzen 5 2600

Thing is, I don't think I need the upgrade to Zen 2 as of now, and all of Intels products carry a huge premium (mobo, cooler).  Rest of the Specs - 16Gb 2933Mhz C15 Ram and GTX 1080 2100Mhz 

 

Ryzen 3000 is better than my current chip but were talking about cpu performance increases which only give ~20% frames increase max on avg. For that, its not worth the price right?

My idea now is to wait to see what Intel comes up with in response next year and get that. I can hope that they will be cheaper because of the competition and faster than AMD as we already see right?

 

What are your thoughts on this?

Will Intel's next lineup be the right choice? Will their "intel premium" be reduced because of the competition? Can we hope for AMD to beat them in gaming performance or will Intel never be dethroned? 

Could use your opinions and thoughts on this to further my understanding. Thank you!

Im not following that leak. 

 

Im following an older roadmap leak.

 

Besides there has been words of a 10 core for quite some time. On 14nm

Intel can barely sort their 10nm process so next year you won't find anything that is much more powerful, I mean you can only put so much power in a 14nm chip so probably a refresh. You can get a 3rd gen ryzen and update your mobo bios. I mean you might as well wait 2 years for something even better or 3 or 4. The 3rd gen ryzen are a solid choice, just go for one of them and you shouldnt regret it.
