> If you don't know clocks is slang for clockspeed, you're out of your depth. So just stop talking.

I phrased that badly. I was talking about the second quote there.

It's a little bit subtle.

The first quote says it will raise clock speeds.

The second quote says it will operate outside of specifications.

But nowhere does it say the clock speeds will be outside the specification.

It's raising the power limits outside the specification so that it can raise clock speeds inside the specification.

> And you're saying that technical documents from AMD don't know what they're talking about (it's a technical document. It's a technical article.)

If you can quote me something from AMD that specifically says PBO (not AutoOC) raises the maximum clock speed above the number you can boost to within spec, I will admit I was wrong and apologize. But the page you linked doesn't say that.
