It makes sense in that now AMD can segment their line in more discernible ways than 100-200Mhz boost increases. The 4700X could be 8c/16t, the 4800X could be 10c/20t, and the 4900X could be 12c/24t. The 4800X could have the highest boost clocks to better compete against the 10900K.

More segmentation gives them more options. And this will also give consumers more options.

For example, AMD's Ryzen 7 3700X and 3800X. All that differentiates them is a few hundred MHz in clock speed.

There is a big performance gap between the 3700/800X and the 3900X, and that could be filled by a 10-core.

In theory, AMD's 3800X could be a 10-core.

Depending on the CCX layout, this 10/20 layout might be just as good for gaming.
