Actually, there is (kind of). The AMD presentation slides that have been released after March (that I could find, and do not have Zen 4 on the unmarked timeline as well) all suggest Zen 3 as an item on a timeline ending 2021 [0][1], as opposed to earlier slides [2][3] that have Zen 3 on a timeline ending in 2020. The only Zen 3 product which was announced to be shipping this year, was Milan at "late 2020" [3], and that was before the presentation of [1] was given, so that might very well have changed in the meantime. Looking back at it, I really haven't seen an AMD presentation with the [ 2017 < zen, zen 2, zen 3 > 2020 ]-timeline after the financial analyst day 2020, but have seen new updated versions in the form of [ 2017 < zen, zen 2, zen 3 > 2021 ].

So, as of last month, Zen 3 was again confirmed to be coming this year. It's absolutely still just a rumor that Zen 3 is delayed until 2021. There has been no official confirmation of any change to the schedule, and attempting to read way too much into some slides doesn't change that.

Yes, I already expected a presentation at the end of the year, though this is not explicit about _shipping_ Zen 3 this year. /cynicism You are correct though that it's a rumor, and I'm 80% sure that Zen 3 will launch this year. My comment was mostly to provide a counterexample to the "almost no evidence for Zen 3 in 2021"... Although, this evidence is indeed not a lot... As always, I guess we'll see
