2 years sounds very fast. It seems to be because the 3d cache SKUs of each generation were released at different stages. The Zen 3 one was a later variant.
First zen 3 November 5, 2020 with desktop processors. First desktop Ryzen 9000 processors on August 8, 2024. So the generations were about 4 years apart.
Yes I stated that as well in the previous comment [1] on how Apple got 50% faster in 3 years.
>Compared this to the article "How did AMD Ryzen get 50% faster in two years?" The Zen 3 uArch being used in the article came out in 2020. So it is more like AMD got 50% faster in 5 years.
I was wondering where you got the info about A20 Pro: "shrink back to 9 decode width". Also I imagine the A20 Pro is very similar to an M6, but downsized.

From Geekerwan and many other Chinese sources. The M6 CPU Core is more like an M5 die shrink.
Edit: Here is the Geekerwan Video. Absolute insane improvement that a lot of current media and press seems to have missed.
