der8auer has done extensive testing on multiple CPUs (he had 12 samples) and has discussed the topic. https://youtu.be/WXbCdGENp5I?t=119 https://youtu.be/WXbCdGENp5I?t=119 A lot of reviewers have noted similar things, but often are working with singular samples and didn't want to make too much of a stink without more data, but the problem is widespread. Out of all of der8auer's CPUs, only one hit its advertised boost clocks, and it was one of the lower-end CPUs with a less ambitious target to hit. It may be a problem with early AGESA firmware, and silicon quality will definitely go up over time, but at least at this point in time AMD has certainly falsely advertised the clocks these CPUs are capable of achieving.
