CTOnews.com March 17, according to a video shared by YouTube channel Pro Hi-Tech, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor has RTC BUG, which wakes up from sleep and displays a clock rate of 6.28GHz.

This is obviously wrong. Because the clock rate of the Ryzen 9 7950X processor is 5.7GHz, it is impossible for this 16-core processor to exceed 6GHz without manual overclocking.

CTOnews.com Note: this video shows that the screenshot came from a netizen who did not share the motherboard model or firmware version, so it is not clear which AMD AGESA version firmware caused the error.

RTC BUG is a very old BUG of the AMD platform. The AMD Ryzen 3000 (code name Matisse) processor can display a faster clock rate than expected.

When the AMD Ryzen goes up to the highest clock rate and puts the system to sleep, the clock rate rises and scores higher on benchmark tests such as Cinebench or Corona.
