Is Zen 2 really that bad at overclocking that a 3900XT can't go up to 5GHz?

It's like AMD wants me to buy Intel.

Yea it's been bad at overclocking since it's initial release. Heck the 3900X is supposed to "boost" to 4.6Ghz but I haven't been able to get it past 4.2/4.3ghz. Least it means you get the best performance for the cpu out of box and don't need a very high end cooler compared to what you will need to cool the 10 core at 5.1ghz.
