AMD 7nm Based Zen 2 CPU Architecture Features 13% IPC Improvement, Alleges Rumor – 7nm Process To Deliver Higher Clock Speeds
https://wccftech.com/amd-zen-2-7nm-cpu-13-percent-ipc-increase-rumor/
The rumor comes from Bits and Chips through their official Twitter feed where it’s alleged that the Zen 2 architecture brings an average of 13% IPC (Instructions Per Clock Cycle) uplift over the Zen+ architecture. It is stated that this performance uplift is specifically in scientific tasks so maybe the numbers are from early EPYC 7nm ‘Rome’ samples which should be out in the wild. There are no gaming performance results available at the moment since the consumer samples are still away from launch.
We know that aside from their server aimed EPYC ‘Rome’ lineup, AMD is also working on their new 7nm, Zen 2 based Ryzen parts. Earlier, rumors have stated that these CPUs are already working in AMD labs at speeds of up to 4.5 GHz on an 8 core, 16 thread SKU. If AMD manages to extend their product lineup with faster and much more affordable 7nm CPUs in the coming year, the can gain a significant chunk in the CPU market share with ease.

...Meanwhile Intel is scrambling.

Double digit IPC gains is nothing to sneeze at.
Hopefully they also throw more CPU cores at the problem as well, but I doubt that will end up being the case.

Well, AMD better takes advantage of the situation, because it's not a matter of if Intel will come back, but when.

And I doubt there will be a CPU with more than 8 cores/16 threads.
