Any new CPUs coming out soon?

Can we expect them in Q1 2019? Unfortunately Intel still slightly outperforms Ryzen but they begin to lose the battle against AMD. i3 processors with 4 cores and 4 threads are sold for the price of Ryzen 5. Intel seem to have stronger single core performance so their processors even beats Ryzen 5 but it's the matter of time and optimization plus Ryzen can be easily overclocked and comes with a good stock cooler and their socket is supported for a few years. I'd buy a Ryzen without a doubt as my next processor.

I'd rather aim for the middle class. Do you think it is viable to get a strong 4/4 cpu in 2019 for gaming?

It's not exactly certain when the third generation Ryzen chips will launch, supposedly they are being announced at CES this January, and if AMD follows their recent trend, then that means they'll start hitting store shelves around March or April. However, Lisa Su could go up on stage at CES and say they are launching later than that and it's going to be a Q2 release. We'll probably have more information by the time CES is over and done with.

As for getting a 4 core/4 thread CPU, it's not a great idea anymore if you play AAA games. A number of newer titles, the Assassin's Creed and Battlefield games in particular struggle to hold 60FPS with a 4 thread CPU, as a lot of these newer game engines need at least 6 to 8 threads to run well.

4/4 is becoming obsolete even though Intel still has the gap in the single core, Ryzen is bang for the buck so much more, and no im not a AMD fanboy just telling facts, if i'd go with Intel and at a reasonable price it would be a i5 9600k, and if i'd go for a Ryzen it would be a 5 2600x and even OC a little to catch the Intel

Is there a big difference between 4/4, 4/8 and 6/12? Out of curiosity, what is the standard now?

For current games there is a small edge for 6 cores/ 12 threads over 4 cores/8 threads, but it's the kind of thing that isn't too noticeable unless you have a high end GPU and high refresh monitor and are thus hitting CPU limitations more. Right now hexacore CPUs seem to be the new midrange product with quad cores being more low end, and AMD is offering SMT on their's so you get 12 threads. Intel is only offering 6 cores with no hyperthreading with only the 8th gen i7s being their only hexacore with hyperthreading.

4/8 is much better than 4/4, newer games have much more use of the extra threads and editing has the same use of threads as well 6/12 is very good in my opinion but 8/16 is the perfect for both worlds no hyperthreading was a mistake from intel's side since they are known for their good single core and AMD's Multi Core is much better
