Don't worry, AMD is still supporting overclocking across all AM5 boards

https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-b650-overclocking-ryzen/

"AMD has confirmed that its most affordable B650 motherboard chipset will support overclocking of its Zen 4 processors. "

Well that's a relief. I guess they were trying to upsell people to X670 or something. Regardless of which, it's great news.

Certainly good news. Maybe it's what the article says, if the X670E is for "Extreme Overclocking" and the X670 is for "Enthusiast Overclocking", then what was left for the B650? "Mediocre Overclocking"?

AMD confirms Ryzen 7000 “5.5 GHz demo” did not involve overclocking

It could just be a single core boost so I wouldn't put too much stock into it. But AMD does seem to be making a big deal out of their overclocking which is interesting. Zen 1-3 all have been shat overclockers. So hopefully, that will change with Zen 4 and if it does, then 15% will be conservative.

Not according to Ian Cutress in the tweet: "Most threads around 5.5, depends on scene/game" & "5.2-5.5 on all threads was common on the game". It doesn't seem to be a single core boost.



Please excuse my bad English.
