Probably not an awful lot (for most instructions). The size of 4c isn't that different from Zen 2/3, except that it's made on a smaller node.
It just goes on to show how relatively expensive single-core performance is, in terms of transistor count vs. IPC increase. It wasn't much of a bother before with cost-effective die shrinks, but now it is.
