Re:AMD Ryzen 7 2700X gets overclocked to break the 6GHz barrier by rincebrain on Friday April 20, 2018 @06:35AM (#16883656)
AFAIK, other than "because we can", "stable enough to get into an OS, but not to be reliably used" is pretty close to "stable", so assuming tech iteration doesn't result in a quality drop, you can think of it as a "Coming Soon" for what a generation or two later's high-end chips can be pushed to.

I am not sure if they got into the OS at that speed. From the video I got the impression that they adjusted the core frequency and voltages using software, once inside the OS.
