Part of it is intel k parts have quite a bit of overclocking headroom while zen 2 has none.



Intel has almost no overclocking headroom. It's only about 5% or so. Both AMD and Intel have squeezed everything they can out at this point, there's not really anything left.

The main difference is on Intel you get that magical sounding 5ghz number by overclocking, but it's not actually much higher than stock (4.7ghz on the 9900k is the "all-core turbo")


Right. I guess the Ryzen boost clock debacle is also part of it...
