Rome wasn't built in a day, wasn't teased in a day, either: AMD's 7nm second-gen 64-core Epyc server chips finally land

Thr performance improvement ist big...

Personal test results: x470 Taichi Ultimate 64 GB DDR4 2400 ECC RAM, Ryzen 7 2700x vs. Ryzen 9 3900x in that same machine. Upgrade made 'cause heavy x264/x265 usage.

Result for x264/x265: The 3900x is 85% faster, I expected 60% from the core count and other improvements.

With a bit OC and DDR@3000 95% faster. More OC gives >100% speed improvement, but also > 90°C CPU cores on these hot summer days.

Translating that to Epyc I did expect epic speed improvement.

Oh, and I did compare against my old i7-4960x which is still in use: Per core and clock-cycle 65% more speed.
