I don't know about if it will be exactly the same build as DP3, but it should be close.
The major difference will be that PB1 will have to be a full installer, but so far DP3 is just a delta update. There is so far no full installer for DP3.
Apple might release one though because they removed DP2 from the sucatalog making it hard to update from DP1. A full installer of DP3 would simplify things a lot for developers right now.

Honestly, I wish Apple would OFFICIALLY announce things like this. Relying on rumors gets old REAL quick.
Don't rely on the rumour then, simple. Just let Apple release when they are ready.
Personally, I've found DP3 to be the least stable beta of the 3 so far and I would urge caution before installing it (It should go without saying, but definitely don't install it as your primary OS on a critical system 
)
)
It will likely be similar builds. Not much different to each other.can't wait to see pb1 vs dp3 speed tests
So could I treat it as another type of planned obsolescence? Maybe this word is not proper but removing previous beta download link could let users installing early beta need to find other ways to install latest one, or simply wait until it is released officially.
Seems to be up now. Go get it at https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/welcome

Why is it not showing up as an update through the App store? I am on the PB and that's where I've always found it.
Had to re-enroll my Mac. Still not showing up for me though.

I had to manually redeem the code in the app store for the beta to show up.Why is it not showing up as an update through the App store? I am on the PB and that's where I've always found it.

Already did that.
And if I try to redeem the code again, it says the code has already been used. I guess I need to wait for the server to catch up.
