It seems the data doesn't provide clear benchmarks. From what you describe, it appears the benefit lies in utilizing multiple cores simultaneously, which may not significantly improve performance compared to single-core games like PBO. However, it's likely using more than one core even if not at maximum capacity.
Usually a 3900x performs well across all cores, but with per CCX overclocking you can probably boost half of them to 4.4 or higher. Since they’re built from a single high-quality die and a better one, crude overclocking tends to let the top die run faster while the slower one stays in check.
those overclocks running at 1.4v seem to be the norm, similar to Zen 2. i don’t hear much about a clear degradation zone there. i usually suggest keeping it below 1.4v for that reason. typically, you don’t see much improvement with the 3700x chips compared to 4.3 or 4.4.
Ah there's a chart somewhere that's perfect but I'll never find it... basically it's frequency vs voltage with a line for each CPU. But yeah, the 3700x isn't going to get as far as a 3900x, my point is just that I think you can get proportionally more out of it with a bit of fine tuning, even though they do come so close to the limit from the factory with PBO taking up most of what's left as it is. Edit nvm found it:
