Yesterday AMD drew criticism for advertising Boost clockspeeds that a lot of processors can't hit and now John Bonini, a Vice President, General Manager Desktop, Workstations, Gaming at Intel, pokes fun at AMD for claiming that the Ryzen PRO can hit 5GHz.



As reported by FUD Zilla, the tweet from Bonini is a response to a marketing video from AMD that claims the Ryzen Pro can hit 5GHz. In reality, that clockspeed isn't even possible with LN2 cooling, so that resulted in some odd stares. As the Bonini tweet points out, Intel's Core i9-9900K can indeed hit 5GHz with "regular" LN2 cooling.

AMD has already removed the contested video.
