Those are the versions we ship as part of the distro. Please see https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting/ for information abou thow packages are managed in CentOS/RHEL and how they stay the same version from initial release until EOL.

If you need newer gcc etc then you may want to look at the various devtoolset SCL packages.

Either use the SCL repositories, or build GCC yourself. Those are really your only two options.

The latest available to us prepackaged is GCC 7, which can be found in devtoolset-7:
