I am speaking about in general. Newer faster CPUs are something worth being happy about.
This being said there is more to CPUs than raw clock speeds. A major component is IPC uplift. For example if a new cpu has a 20% IPC improvement over an older CPU when they both run at say 3.5Ghz the newer CPU will do things 20% faster. It’s pretty cool stuff.
In the case of the CPUs you mentioned it looks like there was a 16% IPC uplift over last gen and last gen had a 18% uplift over the 5xxx series. I would be happy to have my code compile 16% + 18% faster.
That would be great if that was the case. However you were probably mislead by the title - that IPC increase applies only to 9XXX beasts (Zen 5), not these two AM4 refreshes. At least that’s how I understand it.
I was not in fact mislead. I actually went and found that article to help explain the concept of IPC uplift to you.
I was speaking of why new CPUs are a good thing worth being excited by in general. You were the one who said new CPUs aren’t worth being excited about in general.
As a bonus I showed how new CPUs even at the same speed have advantages. This all being said hey if you want to be a downer here go for it.

The new CPUs for AM4 socket. Aren’t we talking about AM4 as per post title?
Edit: Probably I should have made it clearer…new new AM5 ones are of course welcome and cool.
