AMD and their new Ryzen 3000 Series processors have been under a bit of scrutiny since launch, not for their performance but for their boosting capabilities.   This was picked up on in a lot of launch day reviews where reviewers found the Ryzen 9 3900X and other Ryzen 3000 Series CPUs not quite hitting expected boost targets in single-core or the multicore load as laid out by the reviewer’s guide.  This situation was made worse by the results from der8auer’s Ryzen 3000 Series Boost Survey that took submissions by nearly 3000 Ryzen 3000 Series owners and found that most of them fell short of hitting the target advertised boost frequency, often by only 25-50MHz.

That survey was released on September 1st leading into a major US holiday weekend and it wasn’t until the following Tuesday that AMD delivered a response, and that response was simply put that they found a firmware issue and would be making an announcement on September 10th.  Well, here we are. Today, AMD released an extensive blog post outlining their plans to address the issue as well as responding to some hearsay regarding the reasoning behind the moves they’ve made.
