They need to build a server ecosystem. I'm hoping that this success will help with that so that things are better positioned for the next new server CPU launch.

We've had engineering samples of Rome for quite a while. However, there are very few available boards with PCIe4 right now. The one we've tried (under NDA) has a busted BMC that won't accept network settings, which has really hampered Rome testing. We've actually done most of our Rome testing using 1st generation boards, with slower RAM and PCIe Gen3.
