While that is certainly a major contributing factor I would have to disagree. Bulldozer/Piledriver made such minuscule gains over thuban despite a massive increase in transistor count and a die shrink that it's extremely likely that a die shrunken incrementally improved 10H uarch design would have outperformed it significantly. This explains the massive backpedaling that they are doing with the design in Zen.
