If that is the case, it really is a terrible blunder from AMD and the board partners because higher clocks obviously = higher performance in most cases and as we all know, the majority of people looking to buy these CPUs will make up their minds from the first round of reviews, not a second round in a month's time. They've had long enough to sort out BIOS problems etc. with a July launch and experience from Ryzen 1 and 2.
Could be nonsense though, I'm not buying expecting some unicorn performance boost down the line, although it'd be nice.
Lots of things seem to be broken it seems, like the windows scheduler could still not be correct as pointed out by 3900x testing when its jumping across CCX's etc, could be a number of things with the BIOS, chipset drivers etc as well, its a proper mess and your right AMD had enough time to get this stuff sorted for a polished launch, but its AMD and we all know how they like to sabotage their own launches lol
