Can AMD's 7900 XTX REALLY run at 3GHz ?!

Let's get started with AMD. Now, their RX 7000 series of GPUs has finally made its debut. We have the 7900 XTX ,and the 7900 XT, both of which look like pretty good contenders to Nvidia’s RTX 4080 16gb. Yes, im leaving the 4090 out of here because AMD said it themselves.. Or at least frank Azor from the company said it. * PLAY CLIP*

Anyways, what I want to talk about is a leak citing that this GPU would hit 3Ghz. Obviously, When we look at the official specs from AMD, this was debunked. The 7900 XTX has decoupled clocks but neither hits 3Ghz. The shader clock is up to 2.3 GHz while the front end runs at 2.5 GHz. The 7900 XT on the other hand is obviously going to be slower. So no 3Ghz GPU’s for AMD ?

Well, I wouldn't say that just yet. First of all, the advertised clocks are very often the most generalized case scenario for a given chip. With Nvidia, they have GPUBoost tech, which, if the card is cool enough, and has power available,it will boost past the rated boost clock.

AMD doesn't have a name for it, but if you give it the power and temperature, the RX 6000 series will do the same. A 6900 XT is rated for a boost clock of up to 2250mhz and a game clock of 2015Mhz. When you’re gaming though, it can reach up to 2520Mhz. A heck of a lot higher than its game clock. And I'm sure we’ll see this same behavior with RDNA 3 GPUs.
