What I heard about Zen2:

1. IPC higher than expected
2. memory latency is mainly improvement
3. AVX performance improve(still no AVX-512)
4. 7nm frequency preview
5. much precise turbo boost

There's a lot of big dreams about Rome, but really, it Zen 2 comes just meeting AMD expectations, isn't enough?
+10% IPC, -10ns latency, +300-400MHz base and top frequency, "improved" FPU.
Just this isn't enough?
10 months after comes the new refresh with +100MHz and -5ns latency.
Better drivers, better BIOS, enough to stay competitive, right?

It's cheap, but part of me hopes that AMD comments about the "cheap glue" Intel is using to bond Cascade-Lake AP together. :D

Is there going to be any stream/blog or is this a closed event?

Edit: stupid of me, there is even at Anandtech.
