Used liquid nitrogen to achieve a performance of 1800X to 5.35GHz

That's a chip with eight cores and sixteen threads, which made it definitely challenging.
On a 6/12 or 4/8 it would feel somewhat simpler (just a loose way of saying), but it seems it demands more cooling than typical users can provide to reach 5GHz.
As McNumpty mentioned, hitting 4.5GHz would be considered an achievement on most Ryzen models.

Many Ryzen processors start at around 4GHz, and AMD chips usually have good overclocking capabilities. 5GHz could be a bit too much, but it wouldn't be unexpected.

reviewing the toms report, temperatures and voltages were managed with custom water cooling. Unless I read it too fast, I'm lucky to hit 4.5GHz. Still, these early models require additional reviews. I might have seen 5GHz on liquid nitrogen somewhere.

It seems the question is about whether this device has a lower TDP compared to the latest Kaby Lake models that can reach 5GHz overclocking.

It seems the TDP isn't as low as some of the latest kaby lakes, which can reach 5ghz through overclocking. The tdp doesn't necessarily indicate strong overclocking potential. Check the review on toms for more details.

i only briefly glanced at the review since i'm heading out soon, but that's all i got
i'll need to go through it thoroughly tonight

It seems the setup won't reach 4.2 or 4.5, only 4.1ghz is possible on the GTX 100i. GG

The R7 chips appear to be reaching a maximum of around 4.0-4.2GHz with air and water cooling. That could shift as BIOSes and CPU microcode improve.
I’ll find out later tonight or tomorrow when I finish my water-cooled 1800X build.
