just wish AMD would hurry up and document their new architecture already. Don't they have any technical people with enough influence to advice sales and marketing how to make a good launch?

So when does Rust gets standardized and included as part of GCC and LLVM?

i really hope modules will land this time

Not sure this hope, that I share, is realistic.

I have more hope for znver3, which I really want to see too (probably even more than modules).

I think AMDs goal was to achieve performance at least as good as intel cores with code compiled primarily for intel targets (Windows games, Cinebench, ...), and if last weeks benchmarks are real, they succeeded. Therefore a special "znver3" option isn't absolutely necessary, unless you want to extract maximum performance.
Although I don't understand why they don't just hire SuSE to help them with gcc optimizations like they did in the early 2000s with K8.

It would be great if it could get some dedicated support from folks working on backends, so that compile times woudl be better and optimizations tighter.

I really hope there's first class citizen Rust support in GCC someday! A man can dream...

These are the efforts I know of :
