ryzen 5 Ryzen 5 will hit slightly higher maximum clockspeeds compared to the Ryzen 7 lineup (+100 to +200 MHz)

Yes, but the 5960x has less overclocking headroom because of power/heat issues, not because of architecture/manufacturing issues (read: design, not issues), which is what seems to be limiting ryzen to around 4ghz.

I thought the Ryzen OC is limited by the node, MB stability or architecture.

 

The seems to be increasingly more voltage needed beyond 4Ghz indicating manufacturing being the culprit but who knows for sure..

 

It would be interesting if we saw Ryzen on the 14nm+ node from Intel. Just to see where clocks and voltage were at... haha

Whatever the limiting factor is, it's been known/assumed, from the early days of the R7 launch, that lower core counts wouldn't help significantly.

I expected it couple of hundred Mhz more. Like around 4.3Ghz but we'll see in detail in time.
