An IT distributor in Germany has published upcoming roadmaps for Intel and AMD processors and chipsets. It looks like the AMD Z490 is coming in June with the B450 following in July and lastly the AMD Threadripper 2 and X399 refresh are coming in August. Not as much going on for Intel, but it does show that the Z390 is a Q3 release and CFL 8-core in Q4.

No word in the presentation was given to Cascade Lake or an X299 refresh, which could be interpreted as that we might see it in 2019, or bluechip does not have that information. They clearly list X99 Refresh on the Intel Chipset Roadmap slide, so to see the X299 Refresh label missing could lead to certain predictions, but we have no source on when an update to X299 is due.
 
God why does AMD and Intel use such similar chipset numbers. It's confusing as hell.
 
Never heard anything of this Z490 before. Why switch from X to a Z? Makes little sense.
