Kitguru had it going over 4Ghz with an AiO, just under with the stock rgb cooler.

Varies depending on cooling/power/silicon but mine seems to hover around 4050mhz.

It's sad how AMD have taken to lying about clock speeds, Vega was the same. They should only be quoting speeds that their hardware can reach out of the box not numbers that you might get if you get lucky and tweak it well.

Intel and AMD both advertise max single thread clock, which is not what Chewie was referring to.

They're not advertised the same (At least here).
Sure, in the details the information is there, but that's not how they're advertised.
Tell me more @nashathedog.
Your understanding seems to be flawed but for some reason it's not stopping you calling them liars.
Are you unhappy that OCUK is listing the Max Boost Clock and confusing it in your mind with AMD?

EDIT : You've taken it from AMD.

Flawed how?
The 2700x is meant to boost and hold 4.35 ghz which it doesn't, The Vega cards were the same, I owned 3 and none of them were able to reach the claimed boost speeds.

What? All core boost seems to be significantly exceeding AMD advertised base clock speed, so if anything, AMD are underplaying it a bit.
It can reach a max of 4.3 with low enough threads. What makes you think it doesn't do that.
*removed the 4.35 which I copied from you, it's correctly 4.3.
Here you can see how frequency works for number of cores: https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/ryzen_7/2700x
1 core reaches a max of 4.3GHz
8 cores reaches a max of 4.0GHz
Base is 3.7GHz

Worth keeping an eye on SSD performance if not using the Ryzen Balanced power setting. With my 1950X and Prime-A board, my SSD was reporting low IOPS according to the Samsung Magician bench tool when using the high performance option. Changing back to Ryzen balanced resolved it.

That's overclockers - Intel is here : https://ark.intel.com/products/126684/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4_70-GHz
The 2700x is working as intended as far as I can see. I knew the max boost of 4.3 would be 1-2 cores which my 2700x seems to do, all 8 cores have boosted to 4.34 at some point. Its difficult to see as it swaps between cores even during CB15 single core test. As for the all core boost it depends on your cooling, I would like to know what the thresholds are as mine starts of at 3966 but drops to 3941 on all core after a little while during stress tests, max temps showing at 63 just now. Will wait for a cooler night to test if it boost higher. Overall i'm happy with how it performs and is a good upgrade from my 1600. I'm not going to see any boost in most games as I'm GPU bottlenecked at 1440 with my 1080.

Okay 4.3.
I've moved my Ryzen build back in to my C70 case so there's plenty of air flow and even though the temps are good it still can't do the advertised numbers. They should be doing these speeds as they come not after loads of tweaking.
4,300 MHz (1 core),
4,200 MHz (2 cores),
4,100 MHz (3 cores),
4,100 MHz (4 cores),
4,100 MHz (5 cores),
4,000 MHz (6 cores),
4,000 MHz (7 cores),
4,000 MHz (8 cores).
I'll see how I get on with overclocking it this week but from the reviews the 2700x's are already at their limit and unlikely to do better, Some sites are reporting worse performance when manually overclocked which is a feather in XFR 2's bonnet but a fact that makes them being unlocked pointless. My 1600x seemed to be stable with a 4ghz overclock but I didn't like the voltages with my low profile cooler so I stuck it at 3.9, It'll be interesting to see how the 2700x does as the bigger case has allowed me to go with a bigger cooler..
With Vega I couldn't get them to hold the claimed boost speed even after manually overclocking them, It was no different when I got a non reference version.

Confirmation on my end after a day of usage, having the CPU Load Line Calibration setting to Auto and using the Windows Balanced power profile rather than the Ryzen Balanced one gives me the best results.
4.35Ghz maximum boost clock there, as advertised.
thx Chewie

I think the docs say you will only boost cores when under 60 degrees, so decent cooling is going to be required to get the best of it - chilled water maybe?
