The screenshots showing the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G at 4.5GHz, are false

Captures appear, showing the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G processor, working at 4.5GHz, something that is false and that is due to an error in the detection by the BIOS and that occurs in some motherboards.

Just yesterday the expected Raven Ridge APUs arrived on the market, which are characterized by having Zen cores, such as AMD Ryzen processors and that are combined with RX Vega graphics, which makes them an ideal solution for entry-level gaming and gaming. casual. Captures of the Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G have begun to appear on the network, in which these processors would be seen with quite advanced overclocking, specifically, they would be working at 4.5GHz. It turns out that these results are completely false.

Specifically, a few hours after the Ryzen 5 2400G went on sale, some benchmarks of this processor running at 4.5GHz ran through the network, this data being false. It is not a manipulation of a user, it is a bug in the processor, which is due to the company's new chips and it is not new, since it has also been seen in the previous Ryzen, the Summit Ridge. The problem has an effect on system times, causing Windows to go much slower, which causes higher displayed work frequencies, which have nothing to do with reality.

Software such as Cinebench, the Windows timer, which is used to establish how long a process will take to complete, are the ones that are most affected by this problem, since it shows an unrealistic work frequency, since the work frequency is lower , which distorts all the data that can be obtained, due to this bug.

It seems that the problem is not general, but is due to a certain number of motherboards, so we could say that the problem will be fixed with BIOS updates. The Ryzen 3 2200G and the Ryzen 5 2400G, in the benchmarks, ran at 4.0GHz, a figure similar to that of the first Ryzen.
