With the release of the AMD Ryzen 3000 series, a verdict has been reached that they are really good processors, but their overclocking potential is limited. AMD has confirmed this and assured that if you plan to buy a Ryzen 3000 with an overclocking, here, it doesn’t make much sense. Basically this overclocking already exists.

In the report, Robert Hallock, AMD’s technical marketing director, said that there is very little scope for overclocking to take the processors much more potential. Especially high-end models. Why? Well, they basically say that AMD has practically increased the frequencies as much as possible.
“The other goal of our development work is to maximize product performance absolutely. Development of algorithms that automatically extract maximum performance from silicon (e.g. Precision Boost 2) without prompting the user to change or compromise the warranty.” Hallock says.
To be fair, our tests have confirmed that there is room for overclocking, and AMD has confirmed that there is potential for better performance. However, they have said that their time is much better spent examining other components such as memory for faster system performance. Let’s see if AMD in the next generation ‘Ryzen 4000’ is able to further optimize the Zen 2 architecture for higher frequencies and larger margins and overclocking. With Precision Boost 2, Ryzen 3000 already seems to be at the limit of its capabilities.
