I just think it's a surface area issue. The die is small its a concentrated amount of heat on a very small portion of IHS. A larger die would transfer heat better. With the 3900x however the heat transfers more and the exhaust out of radiator is warm. It's got double the dies pumping heat into IHS.
Yeah very tiny, but it also feels like they did low leak silicon for huge performance per watt gains here, what do you think?
Then I'm reminded of the clocks ... :-/

Oh I have a question is Ryzen master better than the old amd over drive?
