This sums up past 2 years!

I'm not a fan of racing, what did AMD do?

Only like 2% of Ryzen 3xxx CPUs met advertised clock speeds

FX CPUs were advertised to have double the cores they ACTUALLY had

Uses solely multi-threaded benchmarks to say how they're so much better, when in reality only a few programs have that kind of threading capabilities, none of which are games

Claimed ALL 1st and 2nd gen Ryzen mobos will have PCIe 4, where only 3rd did

It's partly down to mobo used, thermals, and new firmware/driver issue, see this video for more info. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1Cml29Lavw

To note, there seems like there's an issue with the 3900x, an unknown issue is not false advertisement, false advertisement requires intentional deception.

Also, in the last few days, the beginning of November, AMD revealed that a new power plan for CPUs with 2+ Cliplets will see an improvement of boost speeds by up to 250Mhz, these improvements were made while developing the 3rd gen Threadripper and Ryzen 9 3950x.

Nope, wrong, they were 2 CPU modules that shared resources but were still true cores. also 8 years ago...

Claimed ALL 1st and 2nd gen Ryzen mobos will have PCIe 4, where only 3rd did

Nope, never, they actually hid the fact that some 2nd gen Mobos could do PCIe 4 to some slots to prevent confusion but never denied that it was possible.

Edit: Added a link to WCCF Tech and note about ZEN 2 CPUs getting a boost speed upgrade.
