Why is the turbo clock lower than the 9700X at stock?

As far I remember, its always been like this for 3d chips.

This was due to thermal constraints, with 3DVCache. But this seems largely fixed with Granite Ridge.

As others have said, but you also have to consider that it has a much higher TDP that the 9700X which means what clocks it will actually boost to is the 500 dollar question. It it can get to 5.2 ghz or potentially higher like 5.4 or 5.5 ghz with adequate cooling remains to be seen. There is also the potential for it to be like the 3000 series AMD CPUs which would claim peak clocks and only ever reach those clocks for a few milliseconds at a time so it seemed it never really got there.

If putting the cache under the CCD is the magic sauce that has allowed them to enable full overclocking support on the 9800X3D, and it already has a high 120W TDP like the 7800X3D, then I don't see why they can't list a higher turbo clock speed than the 9700X's 5.5 GHz (still a 65W TDP by default).

Because if they say its 5.5ghz and it cant actually achieve that in real world use then that is false advertising. The 9700x has a 5.5ghz listed turbo frequency but it actually boots higher than that.

Looking forward to seeing what the 9950X3D is going to have going on for it. I really would like to have it unlocked.
