They gave out numbers at 4K as well, just not in the video. I won't repost or quote AMD's benchmark numbers until they get their heads out of their ass and properly disclose test setups like Intel does. That said they are out there.

Also the process is NOT the same as Zen 2, it is still a non-EUV 7nm but a different variant than before. AMD obviously didn't go into the weeds here when I asked, and TSMC's ever shifting naming conventions make things worse every time they update things, but it is not the same as it was.
