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?

On most boards yes. So nothing new. It will be the same as 5800X3D. OCing with the BCLK should still work as 5.125-5.150ghz should be doable. Maybe 5.2ghz on lucky board.
Isn't PBO and curve optimizer unlocked for 5800X3D as well? At least with latest AGESA/BIOSes?

bclk overclocking is much better on ryzen 7000 so it shouldn't make much difference on a good board , as it can accept an external clock just for the cpu cores like pinnacle ridge can, so no issues with pcie and the like.
sort of , you cant use a cpu clock override on the 5800x3d, so with 7000x3d you will get +200mhz , not just the extended power limits and undervolting.
edit:actually i cant confirm that, the page i read that is gone so i guess we'll just wait and see

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.
