Q3 2019 for ryzen 3 ? No I don't think it will be that late.

I assume you mean Zen3. It will be probably sometime in 2020 before it is released. Zen2 will be around a mid 1st half to 2nd half 2019 product. Zen3 is expected to be EUV 7nm. Zen2 is not EUV but using a quad patterning 7nm process IIRC. So consumer Zen2 will be around a year or so away from now. Vega 7nm will be the very end of this year or early next year from what I recall mentioned.

Vega 7nm is using TMSC and possibly Epypc as well using TMSC's 7nm.

No, I know very well that ryzen 3 = zen 2, and I'm not believe ryzen 3 will launch in late Q3, it will be stupid since AMD Will be missed the chance when intel screwed their 10 NM cpu, and no I'm know very well that zen 2 based EPYC will launch Q1 2019 on TMSC.
