The limit is in FLOPS but CFD is memory bound. To get round the limit, AMD made custom CPUs with restricted floating point performance to allow quadrupling the number of cores.

That was awhile back. The rules have since been updated to be more flexible. AMD now has a multi-year partnership with Mercedes F1

And now there are some CFD solvers that can use the GPU effectively
