When will AMD refresh Ryzen?

I'm researching for my first ever desktop build and was very keen to go down the Ryzen 5 route, part of the reason for this is because I read that AMD aren't changing their chip size until around 2022 so I'll be able to get an upgrade or two over the next 4 years or so without having to replace the mobo (I hope I've understood that correctly).
However, having seen the latest iteration of intel CPU's and comparing them (particularly the Ryzen 5 and Core i5) on Userbenchmark, intel blows AMD away. So, when can we expect AMD to refresh the Ryzen range? They've only been out for 5 months, so I can imagine it will be a few more months atleast until we see a refresh?

"able to get an upgrade or two over the next 4 years or so without having to replace the mobo". That is correct, whereas Intel are soon/already getting a new socket.

The issue I have with user bench mark is that its not results mainly from normal computer systems not overlocked. Instead, these results involve people who go overkill with their internal componets for only a few minutes, do a quick userbench scan, and there we go, top of the chart!

I have a Ryzen 1600 and due to its addional core, the ability to mulittask is noticable. These processors seen overclocked have performance nearly as efficient as an i7 (in gaming wise).

To answer your question however, I saw an article that says amd supposedly recently told their board partners to be ready for new CPUs around February 2018. You can probably figure that is zen + and that zen 2 will probably be late 2018 or early 2019. Then maybe Ryzen 3 in 2020?

I am hoping they don't require a new board myself. I've got a newer Ryzen 1600 myself and am happy with it thus far.

I don't place a lot faith in most of the synthetic benchmarks, preferring to look at performance in 3-4 top games instead. Even there, the R5-1600 does very well, and probably would last at least a few years. In light of the B350 mainboard only costing $65, it's pretty likely whatever you need a few years down the road might be DDR5 anyway. :)

To what they said for the Road map it should work with your existing AM4 board. I went middle range with my MOBO, so if they have refresh Boards that are better in terms of thermal, VCORE, and memory compatibility I'm all for it.
