Asus normally sets Bus Clock to 99.8. As a result, boosts clocks are lower.

On my 3900x all core seems to hit 4.3 quite regularly although I've never seen a single core above 4.425 which seems odd to me.
I think more BIOS work is required. Fine wine and all that.

It's been happening between companies in competition for years, apple & samsung, apple & google, apple and the rest of the world... When you can't win on the technical playing field you turn to either your marketing or legal departments to tie up your competition and try to gain an advantage. It's just business but is great to watch.
Why do I get the idea there's people in here who didn't read the link and imagine Intel said something in line with their prejudice.
They quoted tech sites discussing the new chips and how they work.
So unless you're agreeing with Intel that More GHz = More Good you're only kidding yourself.
Not a sausage in there to claim that AMD chips can't reach X frequency. It's all about we (Intel) get more GHz.
*And cherry picked quotes to suggest hand wringing is in order because AMD includes minimal capable cores to reach the advertised single core turbo speed.
Note the absence of performance talk, just sticking to the the GHz.

Keep the mud slinging coming! More mud more price drops! 
It’s one of those ‘technically the truth’ things. When the stars have aligned and I’ve remembered to sacrifice a fresh goat to the gods of computer hardware, I’ll glance over at HWMonitor and see the max cpu clock has hit that magical figure. But it never does it in any meaningful way. I still love it though, happy I went AMD this time around.
No not you! Intel

My 3900X on the Taichi is also boosting to 4.6 with a NH15D.
Yeah yeah haven't managed to watercool the system yet, been lazy the last 3 weeks
People in Linux subreddits have been saying they see the boost numbers on the box in Linux, but not in Windows. According to several posts, it's just down to the Windows scheduler being rubbish (again). I don't have a 3950X because they're not out yet so I can't confirm or deny. Anybody?...

Well they're right that the chips do not seem to hit their advertised boost clocks, and that's BS from AMD. However, their slide concentrates on all-core boost clocks being below the advertised maximum...which is always the case with both Intel and AMD chips. So a bit of an own-goal there?
That'd be interesting to test. I know my R7 3700X can hit 4375 MHz in single core workloads in Windows but only very briefly.People in Linux subreddits have been saying they see the boost numbers on the box in Linux, but not in Windows.

If it can not sustain that frequency, this means it has little to no effect on the resulting performance, which means it is not in reality a 4.4GHz CPU, which means it's again misleading advertising...
