AMD has officially revealed the first details of their next-generation Zen 2 CPU architecture which will be used to power the upcoming EPYC Rome and Ryzen processors. Featured first on the EPYC Rome lineup, the new chips would be the first 7nm Datacenter processors, aiming for higher than expected IPC gains and overall improvement in total CPU performance.

With EPYC Rome, AMD skipped 10nm and went straight for 7nm. They have tapped in TSMC to produce the chips for them which gives them an edge over the previous partner, Glofo (Global Foundries). Following are some of the key points detailed for the 7nm process node:
