The part of the system with Rome CPU's is only happening in 2 years. By that point, they'll be installing 2 year old computing hardware in a system not even in use yet.

I don’t get your point.

Rome is going to production next year. So, from cpu production in 2019 to having a system built in 2020 is pretty quick.

It’s like saying iPhone Xs is using an 18 month old SOC. The A12 probably taped out in summer 2017.
