AMD To Handle Boost Clock Frequency Differentials with Firmware Update
This came in from AMD seconds ago in regards to the Boost clock differential discussion. AMD is pleased with the strong momentum of 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors in the PC enthusiast and gaming communities. We closely monitor community feedback on our products and understand that some 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen users are reporting boost clock speeds below the expected processor boost frequency.
While processor boost frequency is dependent on many variables including workload, system design, and cooling solution, we have closely reviewed the feedback from our customers and have identified an issue in our firmware that reduces boost frequency in some situations. We are in the process of preparing a BIOS update for our motherboard partners that addresses that issue and includes additional boost performance optimizations.
We will provide an update on September 10 to the community regarding the availability of the BIOS.

From the Guru3D article:
"Does this affect your performance?
No, all measurements to date are valid, if there is something going on, then the perf is the same as previously. If a chip is slower, then it also was that during any testing. It works vice versa, results could only become faster. Ryzen 3000 is a complicated processor. AMD already has explained in-depth that there are many variables in play that determine the Turbo single thread bin. The right thread also needs to be prioritized towards the fastest / best core, as not all cores are equal."
And check the 3600-3600X performance difference, which is literally zero. And there is a 200 MHz boost clock difference.
Anyway, if GTX 970 owners didn't care about the 3,5 GB only full-bandwidth memory, people will neither care about this.

But they will cry because they are not getting the ghz needed like everyone is just looking at the pc screen to just see what it gets, if its not that its the Vcore problem thats well is fixed but people dont care to seem to look hard to put just a tad bit of work in, I own the 1700 and talking about growing pains with ram,i skipped 2nd gen and went to 3rd for the 3600 noticed i was idle at 1.444 and would not move, i waited and tinker with settings, till i found out that all i needed to do was enable AMD Cool n Quite and vcore drops at idle,

AMD is sweating..... trying to avoid that lawsuit.

What? 970 had a class action lawsuit against it because people were so outraged.. lol

Or people just want to keep companies honest so we don't get Mobile SoC scenarios where they have boost states for review applications and remove throttling on review revision phones.
