This comparison has proven that the Precision Boost feature is not a marketing gimmick. Maximum CPU frequency (single-core): Precision Boost enabled, Precision Boost disabled Precision Boost has a significant positive impact on the performance of AMD Ryzen processors If you'd like to know more about Precision Boost, read: What is Turbo Boost or Precision Boost when it comes to processors?. Disabling Precision Boost means that the processor can no longer boost its frequency, so it is never running at a higher frequency than its base clock speed of 3.6GHz. The maximum boost speed is attainable using the Precision Boost feature that uses AMD's algorithms to increase the CPU's frequency when it needs it.

It has eight physical cores, 16 threads, runs at a base speed of 3600 MHz, and can boost up to 4.4 GHz. The Ryzen 7 3700X is one of the best processors of 2019.
