So the process would be:
When NDA ends, it unlocks and reviewers can finally open the box, install chip, set up the system anew with Windows, update drivers, run all their benchmarks, many of which take hours... once all that's done then they post the review on Friday or Saturday. No blanking period for technical difficulties on the innumerable mobo-RAM-SSD-GPU combos reviewers are using.

Or:
AMD gave them the chips weeks ago, and have told them that they are tracing each chip and are going to viciously pursue legal action against anyone who violates the NDA. You may not run any publicly reported benchmarks until the NDA ends; that list includes but is not limited to x, y, z. Set up the system, run your benchmarks, get it as perfect as you can over the next couple of weeks. If you have any issues here's our direct number for rapid 24/7 support. Thank you.

Another alternative is that AMD don't provide any windows/linuxdriver to the partners, they just provide a test tool that simulates different types of loads.

I will be blown away with 52% IPC increase over original Zen!
Even more so if it is 30% more gaming performance than Zen2 :O

But I set my expectations on slighthly more power consumption at full blast, with average 15% performance increase core to core.
Hope to see new IOD, but I know this is not gonna happen this round.
 
Do we assume/know that the 8 core will be a single CCX?
That the 12 core will be a full 8 core CCX + one half?
Would there be a tactical advantage going for the 8 core to keep all possible workloads inside the same CCX?

Symmetry would still be the way to go, if not for logistics and cost then for the option of allowing the 12-core to use more cache per core.
 
1.it seems that there's no SKUs like x600, x700(5600,5700), for retail. Maybe we would see these SKUs at OEM. (But 5600x,5700x still exist?)
2.No X670 or B650 this round, this is already known and easy to guesstimate
