I still don’t see why 5.0+ isn’t possible. Zen 1 was a first try at a new architecture, and Zen 1.5 wasn’t a massive departure as much as it was some tweaks and a new node. Zen 2 is AMD’s first real refinement, and it’s on 7nm to boot. It sure seems like current Zen offerings have an architectural limit preventing higher clocks. Just a wild guess, but that may be one of the things that the chiplet design solves, as the IO, IMC, and IF components may be what was so sensitive to faster clocks. Won’t be long now to find out. I hope AMD discusses it when Zen 2 arrives.
