Why not All Ryzen 3000 Cores Are Created Equal

Paul Alcorn over at Tom's Hardware has published some rather interesting information today.

Only one core on our Ryzen 5 3600X processor will hit AMD's rated boost frequency. AMD confirmed some cores in Ryzen 3000-series processors are faster than others, which is denoted in Ryzen Master. That means that not all cores on can hit the single-core turbo frequencies. Instead, there are a mix of fast and slow cores.
