Well, most reviews I've seen have managed to achieve between 3.8 and 4.0GHz, even with retail purchased processors. I've only been a bit optimistic in the low end.
But it's curious how Ryzen can't go beyond those 4.0GHz, it's like a wall or something.

I have seen chips struggle to hit 3.8ghz.
It's a great Architecture. I personally think it's down to fabrication. Intel has such a big advantage being on a proper 14nm process... Basically once you hit 4ghz you hit the power wall where you need a massive 1.4-1.45v. Sadly that also accellerates the affects of electromigration.
I think once Zen+ hits we might see some better clock scaling and is IMHO when Ryzen will truly start to come into it's own.

GloFo has announced that their 7nm process in now available, with production available in the first half of 2018, and volume production in the second half of the same year:

That's when we'll see Zen+ and, if nothing else happens, Navi.
