"Update AGESA ComboV2 1.0.8.1 for New Gen AMD Ryzen processors support"

Keep em coming. The launch of Zen 3 is the only thing I care about right now because it's the one thing that keeps me from building a PC.

You'd also like to know that the 15% improvement of Zen3 over Zen2 looks more and more likely:

AMD Zen 3 Based EPYC Milan CPUs Up To 20% Faster Than Zen 2 Based EPYC Rome, Larger Cache & Faster Clocks

New details regarding the performance of AMD's next-generation Zen 3 based EPYC Milan CPUs have been unearthed by Hardwareluxx. The information comes from internal AMD slides which were obtained by the publication and reveal the performance potential of AMD's next-gen server powerhouse.

According to the report, the AMD Zen 3 core architecture has increased the IPC performance by 15 percent. However, there is a certain range of SKUs within the EPYC Milan lineup that would deliver even higher performance. AMD is taking a different approach with EPYC Milan CPUs, segmenting the 64 core for compute-intensive workloads and 32 core parts maximizing the clock-throughput.

Or that Samsung's new 980Pro will face competition

Sabrent Announces Next-Generation Rocket 4 Plus PCIe 4.0 SSD

Sabrent have recently announced the Rocket 4 Plus NVMe SSD which they claim is the fastest available. The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus utilizes the next-generation Phison PS5018-E18 SSD controller which enables significantly faster performance with 7,000 MB/s sequential read and 6850 MB/s sequential write speeds. These speeds are just above the recently announced Samsung 980 PRO and beat virtually all other PCIe 4.0 SSD's using the Phison PS5016-E16 controller which maxes out at sequential read speeds of ~5,000 MB/s.

Of course, that's the max sequential speeds. We'll have to see how both SSDs deal with random read/write tasks.
