    Am I missing something? Max boost went up by only 15% but the base frequency went up 38%

    Better thermals maybe? Less throttling?

      One of the biggest improvements to the Ryzen 7 X3D series (e.g. 9800) is that the caches have been moved from one side of the die (to the other), which places the major heat source closer to the heat sinks.

      SO yes, less heat throttling.
