I’m not sure that things even did change.  Remember ryzen is more memory hungry than i7.  It could very well be the processor is the same speed it always was, they’re just using memory better.  

Wouldn't that be an refinement?

If chip quality silicon wasn’t wildly expensive because it needs to be cut with a saw from bars of unreasonably pure material they could make a bigger die.  There’s a methodology for condensing silicon around a rod that is less expensive.  The problem is the silicon produced is ring shaped rather than flat. The lithography would have to be reversed drum scanned onto the inside or outside of a spinning ring.  If it could be worked through we might end up with ring shaped processors though

To be honest I'm a bit lost as to what you are talking about here.
