Sounds more like placebo than anything, you know you're using something clocked higher so think some things are working faster.
Your're right, i came from a 6700K @4.7Ghz to Ryzen 2700X and i dont 'feel' any difference in most tasks.. maybe less FPS in games but still smooth and playable

I can also stream on Twitch at 6000kbps, 720p60, Medium setting now whereas i know another streamer with an 8700K that cant do those settings.
