Rumor: AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs would see maximum boost frequency of 5.85 GHz.
AMD Ryzen 7000 processors have been tested at high boost speeds, up to 5.5 GHz. However, it appears that they can go faster, rated with a maximum frequency of 5.85 GHz.
AMD disclosed a few more details regarding its Ryzen 7000 CPUs, codenamed Raphael, earlier this week. The company has revealed that the TDP of its primary Ryzen 7000 processors would be 170W and the maximum power of socket AM5 (LGA 1718) will be 230W, which they did not say at launch, causing great dissatisfaction among the company's fans. They also revealed that the Computex 2022 game demo used a prototype with 16 cores running at 5.5 GHz with multiple threads. AMD confirmed a few days later that the prototype had a working range of 170W.
According to Angstronomics (we're not familiar with this media and can't vouch for their credibility), the top-of-the-line model would reach 5.85 GHz and would be the maximum frequency limit. 5.85 GHz is a really high frequency, but given that this was a prototype of the AMD Ryzen 7000 processors, the final specification might be within that range or altered. Some of the 16 available cores may exceed 5.5GHz and produce speeds never before seen on an AMD Ryzen CPU. We're already delighted to see AMD Ryzen 7000 processor speeds of 5.5GHz, so anything above that would be a treat for consumers looking to create a new socket AM5 PC with the latest desktop CPUs. Ryzen 7000 and Zen 4. Of course, such rates can only be allowed on top-of-the-line socket AM5 motherboards, which, as we've seen, will not be cheap, such as those based on the X670E CPUs with VRM efficiently manage the power supply requirements for newer motherboards and processors.

It's a little more complicated than that.
Just look at the Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs the Ryzen 7 5800X.

If the end top is around 5.8 GHz, it could be good for more budget CPUs.
In games single thread IPC is still king.
V-cache is the king

Cache is king, so is max tuned Ddr5 7000+

We want big cache and ultrafast tuned Ddr5.
From stock 4800c40 to tuned 7000c30, I gained 35% in min fps and average fps in BF 2042.

For a chiplet design that cache can matter a ton. The latency going out to main memory is higher for AMD vs Intel's monolithic designs.
