The new leak/rumor says that it can reach up to 4.9GHz https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-16-core-zen3-ryzen-9-4950x-engineering-sample-boosts-up-to-4-9-ghz

Maybe AMD will manage to make it reach 5GHz by launch.

That's some really high clockspeed, but I remember reading something about zen2 not fully reaching it advertised clockspeed so we shall see. I'm expecting 17.5% ipc gain for zen3, maybe higher ipc for gaming with its single ccx. This should be enough to beat the 10000 series in most games I think.

Yeah, the Zen2 chips couldn't reach the advertised max clocks most of the time. AMD launched several patches to fix that, but I don't know if they succeeded or not.

What I find even more impressive is that the base clock went up compared to the previous leaked chip by 200 Mhz. 16c/32t at 3.7 Ghz base is already 200Mhz higher than on the 3950X, and those are still just ES, so that clock speed might go even higher

By now I'm expecting 3.9/5.1 Ghz for the 4950X, obliterating any Comet lake and Rocket lake in it's path.

I think you're too ambitious. They may try to push a bit more for the "magic" 5.0GHz mark, I'd be really surprised if they can go beyond that. At least on the 16-cores part. It could be easier in the 8-core parts if they want to give them an extra bit of power.
