7nm Zen 2 Comes To AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs First, EPYC Rome Processors Landing in Q3 2019

The confirmation is very interesting since that shows when AMD plans to launch its product lines based on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture. There are three main products coming in 2019 which would utilize the Zen 2 architecture and these include:

AMD Ryzen 3000 Series (Mainstream)AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 Series (HEDT)AMD EPYC Rome Series (Server)

Following is the official statement from CEO, Lisa Su, during the earnings call:

Turning to our next-generation Rome processor, we made excellent progress in the quarter, achieving key production milestones with our largest OEM and cloud customers.

We're very excited about the performance of Rome, which is on track to deliver four times the floating point performance and double the compute performance per socket compared to our current generation EPYC processors. We are on track to begin Rome production shipments in the second quarter to support a third-quarter launch. - AMD's CEO, Lisa Su

Now for some time, we have expected the Ryzen 3000 series and EPYC Rome processors to launch at the same time but that isn't the case. In fact, AMD will now be bringing their next-generation Zen 2 based CPUs to the mainstream AM4 platform first. Starting off with their Ryzen 3000 CPUs, AMD will be hitting Intel at a time when blue team's processors are faced by severe shortages due to the 14nm supply constraints. The shortages are expected to last till Q3 2019 and that gives AMD lots of time to take a major chunk of market share for themselves.
