Depends what impressed you, I think you a tad harsh.OK, and what do higher yields from break of controllers have to do with architectural superiority? The TOTAL die size of the 7900xtx, including its memory controllers, is 529mm2. The 4090 is not much larger but is significantly faster and with comparable power use.
Also, zen 1 WAS terrible. The memory controller was attrocious it was comparable to ye olde sandy bridge in games, and it couldnt OC worth a darn. The only benefit it had was that it was cheaper then intel and offered more cores for compute tasks.
The framework laid by zen 1 is what was actually good.
Absolutely none of which is helping AMD win on the arch front seeing how well the 4090 performs.
You should really learn what whataboutism is.
Architecturally speaking ADA has provided a significant jump in performance and efficiency. rDNA3 has done neither, as demonstrated by the huge disparity between core size and performance gain on the 7900 series, and the wet fart that is the 7600.
By that standard the last time AMD produced an impressive arch was the original GCN in 2012.
It's worth remembering that AMD went with stepping on evolved 2.5D designs, Nvidia went again with maximum, they can indeed keep doing this, though even they won't, and are not (hopper), but again AMD are stretching a lead in chip aggregate designs IMHO.
Given the feat, it's clear with ridiculous extra effort even the 7900 got close, the 4090 could also be tuned like a loon though, rdna3 for me brought enough performance, efficiency, Raytacing, new features etc for me it just cost arse.
But it was a five year update tbf.
