AMD will release fix to improve Ryzen 3000 CPU boost speeds on September 30

General News

Summary

"We understand that there are some users who expressed concerns about their ability to hit the maximum boost frequency of their product. Unsurprisingly, many customers have not been impressed with news that their processors are unable to reach the boost speeds they were promised, prompting AMD to announce that it was working on a fix. Using the old firmware, the chip tops out at 4.575GHz, just shy of the promised 4.6GHz boost (though as with the Ryzen 7 3700X, some users have have complained of much larger discrepancies). This is disappointing for any Ryzen 9 3900X owners who were hoping that the firmware would bring a big improvement to the performance of the processor. Until then, it’s well worth reading Tom’s Hardware’s in depth analysis of the beta firmware.
