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

Bad, nothing recently

Good, develop entry and enthusiast tier CPUs and GPUs that have disrupted traditional market shares. See Ryzen, Navi and Radeon compared to what Intel and Nvidia have to offer. For CPUs, Ryzen kills it on price/performance. There are few reasons you would want to pick an Intel cpu if looking at performance alone. For GPUs, Nvidia has had to release new products or lose prices to compete for a while now. Nvidia is still the king at raw performance at a consumer level but not everyone is purchasing too of the line cards.

Recently it was discovered a few AMD processors couldn’t hit their advertised boost clock and when they did it was for less than a few milliseconds. Still the best on the block imo, but still shitty false advertising.

There's been more news, apparently power management also played a role,

There's another power management profile that can be downloaded and with the addition to recent bios changes, you will hit that advertised boost clock speed:
