So many Intel slides leak in Asia, and a new one has surfaced indicating that Ice Lake for mainstream processors has been delayed towards 2020. That by itself isn't news as everybody expected that, but the fact it is now listed on a roadmap, kind of solidifies that thesis.

Basically, the screenshot below is based on two slides that leaked, the first was made March 2018, the later one is from may 2018, and you can see the things being changed in the later one. Ice Lake has been replaced by Coffee Lake-R, both for the mainstream platform and for the business workstation chips - Xeon D and -E. Interestingly Cannon Lake is missing though.

You can see Coffee Lake-R, that R is short for refresh, so yes you can expect another iteration of Coffee Lake on 14nm before things move towards 10nm. In 2020 Ice Lake now has been positioned. By that time, AMD should be knee deep in 7nm CPUs already though.
