Ryzen 4000 low base clock?

What is the maximum base clock Ryzen is gonna offer? As per recent testing, it shows 3 ghz.
Will it offer 4.00 ghz in future? If not, then it's not worth the wait, right? I wanna buy a PC now. though to for the Aorus Elite x570 and 3600 so that I can update to 4000.
or should I just go for the 3700x+ B450 Tomahawk max and sit 4000 out

No one knows. Engineering samples are often slow because they mainly test stability and production, not max performance (that comes last)

its unknown.

 

however you cant decide on a CPU solely off of clocks you know, you have to consider thread/cc, OCing, stabiity, etc.

stuff is cool. stuff that has fancy lighting is cooler. stuff that has fancy lighting and works is the coolest.

 

i game so i know a bit abt gaming tech, not much abt professional tech.

 

writing this as i finish a 3 hour D2 sesh so excuse anything wrong.

yes of course. bt if they are not that much of a development from 8c/16t 3.8 ghz 3800x or 3.6 ghz 3700x; why wait for them at all. that was my point exactly.

i mean thats the thing. like look, a i3 9100 vs a i5 9400 people without looking at specs would say the 9400 but actually th 9100 has a clock of 3.6, while the 9400 has a clock of 2.9, but its got 2 more c/t.

 

i mean i guess it just really depends. if AMD comes out with monsters at Threadripper level for prices like a 3600 (which is kidna impossible) they could absorb the entire market lol.

oh yes that is entirely differently. i was like , i am buying a 3700x - 8c/16t
enough for gaming, right? thn should I go for x570 mobo so that I can upgrade to Ryzen 4000 which btw neither of them will support DDR5 Ram; will be backdated again within a year

i mean that is how hardware is, keeps going up.

 

but for example, when DDR4 first came out ddr3 still outshone it. it took years for DDr4 to overtake DDr3, same will happen wiht 4/5
