The Zen 2 architecture doubles the width of the datapath and the execution units to 256-bits which should double the performance of AVX2 on it vs. Zen.

The whole FPU got supersized in Zen 2 (vs. 1).

2x wider datapath (256-bit, up from 128-bit)
2x wider EUs (256-bit FMAs, up from 128-bit FMAs)
2x wider LSU (2x256-bit L/S, up from 128-bit)
