I am not aware of any Zen3 ES let alone Vermeer ES thus far. In Contrast, Zen2 ES were common almost 8 months before launch.
In der Benchmark-Datenbank von Sisoftware Sandra ist offenbar ein Zen-2-Engineering-Sample von AMD aufgetaucht. Die CPU 2S1404E2VJUG5_20/14_N entspreche einem Rome-Prozessor mit 64 Kernen. Der L3-Cache wird mit insgesamt 256 MiByte ausgegeben, was die spekulierte Verdoppelung untermauert. Die...

They stated that they have been sampling since Q4 last year. But till now not even a part number anywhere. Nothing.
If they are this quiet it must be very good. Can't imagine otherwise. Looking at the 3100 vs 3300X comparison, just having a unified cache raised "
IPC" considerably. Optimize some DRAM latency. Just like that,
IPC will improve without touching the core.
From HarwardeNumber3rs testing, increasing frequency does not do much for Zen2, so I guess that was the reason they did not bother much with it. In fact would have been negative PR with higher frequency.

I still believe they will be on track for late Q3 this year at the latest just like they stated on their slide from last Nov (Also confirmed from the NERSC PR). Probably earlier for Desktop.
Otherwise it is going to be almost TWO years from tapeout to Launch and one year from sampling to launch. That is nuts. That is way too long.
