I took the plunge earlier this year with a 3900X absolutely no regrets. Last AMD CPU I had was an FX-55 back in the day.

Will Zen 3 by 7nm enhanced or 5nm? I'm thinking 7nm enhanced i.e., same process as new consoles.

It can be that they are simply waiting for benchmarks from reviewers to adjust their marketing strategy accordingly.

5n is not coming until at least 2021, more likely 2022.
I'm willing to wait for reviews for the RTX30 series but there is no way I'm waiting till after Zen3 is available to buy my GPU. The 28th is too little too late. Especially with Cyberpunk around the corner. I need to finish my build before it hits. Plus god knows what brexit is gonna do to the supply/price of this stuff. I'm not waiting forever.

Yea if that design is true future wise NVIDIA is fucked. This is the start of chiplet, I THOUGHT it wasn't going to happen until RDNA 3. But it looks like blueprints for that change in gpu design starts with RDNA 2.
fUCKING EXCITING IF TRUE.

Can't even tell if this is sarcasm or not.

It is indeed supposed to be for RDNA3. It is not always possible to differentiate between leaks and people making stuff up though, so, take that leak with a grain of salt. I think there's a higher chance that it's fake than real, but, we'll see.

Let's wait for the actual product first, and then some actual benchmarks before we get too excited, shall we? But I have to say, I thought Intel is gonna be the first company to pull out the MCM designed GPU somewhere in 2021, but looks like it's gonna be AMD instead if the rumor is true.

While anything is possible I highly doubt they would have a chiplet design already. Previous rumours have pointed to RDNA3 being the first chiplet design from AMD and would compete with Nvidia's hopper chiplet GPUs.
Of course anything is possible, AMD have been incredibly tight lipped about what they have under wraps. Even with their partners/AIBs so we should take any rumours we hear with a grain of salt. Having said that they must be confident in what they have and don't want Nvidia catching wind too early about what they have to react early.
One thing that could point to this being potentially true is that AMD seem to be the current market leaders in chiplet design with their Zen processors. This would mean they have a ton of experience/know how/R&D from that side of the business that they could transfer over to the Radeon group giving them a boost so to speak.
But I still don't really buy this current rumour. It also states HBM memory, most previous rumours were pointing to GDDR6 but I suppose this is all subject to change and we are in that window where they can make final memory/clock/power draw/driver changes. I also heard potential rumours of HBM variants with some cards being GDDR6 and others being HBM so who knows.
I think this user most likely pulled together a bunch of current rumours and speculation going around a compiled them into this image while pretending it was a legit leak of some kind. Outside of the HBM and MCM stuff the rest reads like info we already "know"/suspect/estimate. Even the HBM variants were rumoured a few months back so again could be just combining a bunch of rumours and speculation and passing it off as legit.

You'd be better off with an RTX 3060, most likely. Or an AMD equivalent. All the RTX 2000 GPUs are overpriced at this point. And if you look for it, you can regularly find a 2080Ti for under $400 on Ebay.

yeah i would def wait for benchmarks. a 3060 might destroy that 2070 for just as much.

You probably have no clue what even chiplet is?
That design on the board that he posted looks similar to the Chiplet design of their cpu's which use infinity fabric.
Notice it has what looks like separate I/O chip.
I mean yea, this could be total fluff, that someone made, and it looks like someone made it.
But RDNA 3 us suppose to have chiplet design.

I wish and had some leaks, I purchased 2080 super, intending to go the route of the Evga trade up program.
And CPUs, I'd wait for, their gpus... Amd hasn't made a high end card that can ball with Nvidia in a long time.
If" this is it", this time, I'd be shocked. I want to believe but...I think they are sitting in shite on the GPU front
The last and card I owned was a dual chip 4000 series, might have been 5 but it's been a while, like pre 2010 era
