A prototype of zen 2 appears at 7 nm that reaches 4.5 ghz

AMD's Zen 2 to 7nm processors are expected to be ready to launch sometime next year. If new information, coming from a forum member on HardOCP is correct, then the 3rd generation Zen 2 or Ryzen processor has 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock rate of 4GHz and a turbo rate of 4.5GHz.

Radeon Technologies Group is already testing a Zen 2 based processor

The data comes from the Radeon Technologies Group, which apparently needed an initial CPU engineering sample to ensure that the video card drivers played well with the chip. The processor was tested along with a Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid graphics card and an AMD motherboard.

The downside is that there were a lot of test failures, according to the source, with some tests having to run many times because they didn't finish running, but we can't draw any conclusions from that, because it 's normal to observe a high level of instability with the hardware in an initial sample.

The rumor source further specifies that the chip was already nibbling at the Core i7-8700K in terms of performance. That said, hopefully so, since the Intel processor is a 6-core model with a 3.7GHz base clock. Anyway, try to compare this AMD engineering sample with Intel's existing lineup. is something of a nonsense these days.

Zen 2-based Epyc processors were already showcased at Computex 2018, where AMD CEO Lisa Su indicated that the company is now working with Zen 2 on retail products. We can expect the first server-facing chips to launch early next year. Apparently we can expect a 10-15% improvement in instructions per clock with Zen 2, and a maximum of 32 cores in the main processor, although there is supposedly a powerful 64-core CPU for servers.
