How did AMD make Zen 2 faster?

You'll actually be getting a slightly cut down version of it, not the full fledged PC part. 

There are many Zen 2 'SKUs' so not sure what the "full fledged" parts are but it's sounds more like console manufacturers are getting 8 cores clocked at 3GHz+ ... 

A variety of leaks for both the Playstation 5 and Xbox Scarlett have positioned the next gen consoles with low base-clocks of around 1.6Ghz, but high 3ghz+  boost-clocks.
So it would be safe to assume games that aren't pegging the TDP of the GPU will likely see CPU clockrates ramp up to eat into the TDP limit and hit sustained boost CPU clocks, much like what we see with Ryzen mobile APU's... And vice-versa.

But even an 8 Core Zen 2 @1.6Ghz will shit all over an 8-core Jaguar at 2.4ghz anyway...

Of course, salts and grains and all that.
