AMD announced its first Zen 3 (Ryzen 5000 series) desktop CPUs on October 8.
Compared to Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000 series) CPUs, the Zen 3 microarchitecture has higher boost clocks and around 19% higher instructions per clock. A unified core complex die (CCD) allows 8 cores to access up to 32 MB of L3 cache, instead of two groups of 4 cores accessing 16 MB each, leading to lower latency and more cache available for any particular core. TDPs are the same as the previous generation, leading to a 24% increase in performance per Watt.
AMD estimates a 26% average increase in gaming performance at 1080p resolution, with the Zen 3 CPUs beating or tying Intel's best CPUs in most games.
Ryzen 9 5950X, 16 cores, 32 threads, boosts up to 4.9 GHz, 105W TDP, $800.
Ryzen 9 5900X, 12 cores, 24 threads, boosts up to 4.8 GHz, 105W TDP, $550.
Ryzen 7 5800X, 8 cores, 16 threads, boosts up to 4.7 GHz, 105W TDP, $450.
Ryzen 5 5600X, 6 cores, 12 threads, boosts up to 4.6 GHz, 65W TDP, $300.
You may have noticed that these prices are exactly $50 more than the launch prices for the Ryzen 3000 equivalents released in 2019. The 5600X is the only model that will ship with a bundled cooler.
The CPUs will all be available starting on November 5. AMD will stream an announcement for its RX 6000 series of high-end GPUs on October 28.

"Literally no one"
Maybe you haven't been paying attention for the last five years or so. That used to be the case. From 2016 to 2018 they went from zero market share to 5%.In 2019 that went up to 8%, and as of July it had passed 10%.
Intel's "proven" technology is only proven to have more bugs, and Intel only uses older technology because none of their new technology works. Intel is completely dead in the water getting by on nothing but brand name and inertia.

Yes, as you note AMD's market share in the datacenter went down from the 20% it had 15 years ago to the 10% it has now. Thank you for agreeing with me. Proven technology is what it is - proven by running for several years. Which is why they did and do completely dominate AMD. Because no one wants to run production on shiny new stuff that's unproven. I guess "dead in the water" means "completely dominates and always has" to you. Oh the mental gymnastics on this one. Dance clown!
