AMD Ryzen 7000X3D is not overclockable, however will support for PBO 2 and the Curve Optimizer
Over the weekend, AMD made an error on their product pages, suggesting that the upcoming X3D CPUs could be overclocked. That is not entirely correct.
The product page for the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D had previously displayed an error stating that the processor was "Unlocked for Overclocking." However, the manufacturer quickly corrected this information and removed it from the product page. However, let's recap what the processor can do tweaking-wise. The three upcoming Ryzen 7000X3D processors, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and Ryzen 7 7800X3D, will not support manual overclocking of the Zen 4 processor cores. However, they will include the Precision Boost 2 and Curve Optimizer features, which were not supported by the previous Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor.
Next to DRAM overclocking, the Infinity Fabric is still tweakable via the BCLK and may be done manually or with pre-made EXPO profiles. In general, there is little room for further optimization with layered L3 cache on X3D CPUs.
AMD just posted the following:
"Ryzen 7000X3D Series processors are unlocked for memory and infinity fabric overclocking, just like Ryzen 5800X3D. New to the 7000X3D, we have also added PBO and Curve Optimizer capabilities - AMD"

Who is in charge of the updating the product pages on AMD? This is the second time they screwed up with information on the product page for these Zen4 CPUs.
Are they copying and pasting without checking what they are doing?
Based on these incidents, I'd say nobody is in charge. Somebody just does it on the side of their real job. The results then speak for themselves.

The answer could be more simple... they might just want to pull an Intel and artificially gate performance. I certainly believe they did that with the 5800X3D.
I have one and it runs cool, with the L3 running far cooler than the cores. IIRC the L3 runs no higher than 52C while the cores are stressed even to 80C+. I use PBO2 tuner to undervolt it to get a pseudo overclock, and it does make a significant difference under 100% load. The 5800X3D, at least my sample, appears to have a ton of headroom with no good reason that I can find for it to be locked down.
Well ... There must be something they afraid some users might do ... Since those will be their best CPUs until Ryzen 8xxx 3d comes out the have no other reason to lock em up no ?

Completely understandable. As an indie company it is really hard to keep on top of these things. I know that when I make something even I am confused as to what it can do and its properties as well!
I think the delayed release of the 7000x3d cpu's is due to this very issue. Why else all the confusion? It would appear AMD is confused about what it can do too.
