MLID says the rumored higher clocked Zen 5 V-Cache (clocked at 5.6 GHz) are actually new stepping, not just using accumulated high bins.

So that's good news. There may also apparently be a higher clocked 6 core Zen 5, maybe both with and without V-Cache.

Really great thing AMD put work into the new stepping. And MLID analysis missed the key point, that there is no clock speed deficit vs non-V-cache, which is big, going forward.

On Phoronix Linux workstation test showed 5.2 GHz 9800x3d beating 5.5 GHz 9700 by about 11% margin already, despite 300 MHz clock speed deficit. So with extra 100 MHz, instead of 300 MHz deficit, the gap should grow.
