Listed in etail: AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, and Ryzen 5 3600XT
I don't think it can be tagged as rumor, or gossip anymore, as hey the XT models we talked about last week, are listed as AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT, Ryzen 7 3800XT, and Ryzen 5 3600XT in etail.
While the processors are listed, the etailer is a bit unreal with its pricing, but still, they are listed as the 3900XT is tagged at 499€, the 3800XT at 459€, and the 3600XT at 319€, incl of VAT. Materiel.net 1, 2, 3.
The rumors indicated that Ryzen 9 3900XT would get a boost clock of 4.8 GHz, and that is 200 MHz more than the 3900X model. Importantly though the base clock would be also be modified to 4.1 GHz and that is a 300 MHz faster than the existing model, these would be significant changes:
RYZEN 9 3900XT - 4.1GHz base, 4.8GHz boost.
RYZEN 7 3800XT - 4.2GHz base, 4.7GHz boost.
RYZEN 5 3600XT - 4.0GHz base, 4.7GHz boost.
that's:
RYZEN 9 3900XT - +300MHz base, +200MHz boost.
RYZEN 7 3800XT - +300MHz base, +200MHz boost.
RYZEN 5 3600XT - +200MHz base, +300MHz boost.
We can't wait to tell and see how much the extra performance will benefit AMD, especially with comet lake released we could see that 3900XT and 3800XT competitively against the i9-10900K and i7-10700K. It's rumored that these procs will get announced (not released) in mid-June, with availability in July 2020.

Exaggerating much? People were reporting, at the absolute worst, 100mhz lower than advertised clocks, not 5~10% lower, and most were getting 25~50mhz short of it. All of this before some BIOS updates that definitively improved clocks further and brought them even closer.
So yeah, they lied, but not nearly as bad as you say.
It's not 100MHz less. A 3900X will hold 4.5GHz at best for single core turbo, for a second, then plummet back down. And those are not really the clocks, want to see what they actually are? Run Ryzen Master, or you know, scroll down in HWInfo at look at effective clocks. Hitting 4.5GHz or 4.6GHz as the reported clock for a literal millisecond and being recorded is meaningless when it's never actually running anywhere near that.

3900xt looks kinda good if it boosts to 4.8ghz. The other two make little sense at those prices.
Base 3600 is around 190 EUR, I wouldn't pay 150 EUR more for 500 more mhz.

3600XT price is dumb, nobody in their right mind will pay that.
3800XT price is even dumber, considering you can get a 3900X today for less than that and get 50% more cores which are pretty much equally fast (within margin of error)
--
3900XT price however is somewhat appealing, more speed and potentially lower power consumption for just €50 extra, I'll take it !
BUT,
I think these are simply placeholders, and these will NOT be the prices of the actual products.
It might even be a joke from someone at that store...

Those base clock bumps are what is going to make all the difference.

I have not had in hand one AMD's CPU that would intentionally cheat. Hell, A10-7870k refused to ignore 95W TDP. If I could get it use like 125~135W, it would be nice gaming micro PC back in the day.
Ryzen 2400G boosted within limits of TDP. And I built micro-media PC with stock cooler and limited it to 45W to give easy time for VRMs on MB.
There is always chance that measurements are not exact, but many of them are done by components on MB not by CPU itself. And those confirm AMD's values within margin of error.
You have Ryzen CPU, have fun in BIOS. Limit its PPT to 25W
It will do its best to boost within given limit.
When I tested this with 2700X, I took PPT even down to 15W And that's where Chip did not start to cheat. It simply wrote that it is eating 110% of limit (10% above limit).
Because its lowest auto clock was 600MHz and lowest voltage 0,8V.(Tested under load in CB R15.)
And I made this note for 15W PPT: "(idle ~80-85% PPT 2.2-4.3GHz)"
So 2700X reported its idle power draw as some 12W. Which is pretty close given that EDC was 12A at 0,8V.
I have to admit that I did not do same experiment with 3900X, which seems to be able to clock lower and have lower voltage too.
