The extra silicon on top of their compute dies, increases thermal resistance. To maintain the same T_junction they have to run at lower power, which means lower frequency. There is nothing AMD can do, it's physics.
AMD opted for a massive increase in TDP this gen to compete with Intel, - and their even more ridiculous TDP. This invariably renders the 3D SKUs less attractive.
The 3D cache might still make sense in mobile, and for high performance, lower power applications, like big AIOs (Apple iMac clones).
cheers
