My 3000 and 5000 series are already near the maximum headroom, so manually adjusting the CPU clock isn't really necessary. The CPUs I managed to secure recently were the Ryzen 1600AFs.

I believe they rely on the upgraded Zen+ dies from the 2600 series to achieve the performance gains you see, along with the boost from the original Zen architecture.
Most users seem taken in by what came before. I recall upgrading my FX6300 from its standard clock speeds of 3500-3600 to over 4500, which provided a significant performance increase. Back then, a case that supported a liquid cooler and a motherboard capable of handling the CPU would have been suitable for speeds around 5GHz. That was a different time; now we have 7nm technology with much higher IPC.
