Ehehehe, they already are cooking something and they want to swoop in in 2025 like the white Knight

Methodology
In addition to compute node performance/Watt measurements3, to make the goal particularly relevant to worldwide energy use, AMD uses segment-specific datacenter power utilization effectiveness (PUE) with equipment utilization taken into account.3 The energy consumption baseline uses the same industry energy per operation improvement rates as from 2015-2020, extrapolated to 2025. The measure of energy per operation improvement in each segment from 2020-2025 is weighted by the projected worldwide volumes4 multiplied by the Typical Energy Consumption (TEC) of each computing segment to arrive at a meaningful metric of actual energy usage improvement worldwide.

The measurement criteria is very convoluted though (expected) but all in all a very bold claim
Basically a product meant for launch in 2025 should have been done by 2024, so basically just two more product dev cycle after MI300 and Genoa
 
It could be unspecified Epyc + 4x MI60 accelerators used in the presentation as 2020 energy efficiency point
More like some Generic shutterstock Architecture which some "tech media" claimed to be Frontier Architecture.

The thing on that diagram is very much a Frontier node.
One Trento, four MI200 with 4 Slingshot11 NICs attached to the slave MI200 dies.
You can even find the actual node diagram somewhere.

Because it is the Frontier node.
