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.

Apparently Zen 3 is a full architectural overhaul, so expecting big things should be justified.

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.

In the enthusiast circles there is some information floating around that AMD may be implementing per-core voltage control, so in short... The CPU cores that respond well to high clockrates at a set voltage will be able to take advantage of that... And cores that don't, won't.

So AMD may prioritize turbo to a couple of "favorite" cores to push to the 5ghz and beyond barrier.
