A leak-rumor that is claimed to be traceable to AMD. But, still a rumor.
4GHz on all 32 cores/64 threads (base frequency is lower). Could be true. My 3 Ryzens are set to 4.0GHz on all cores all the time (4c/8t, 6c/12, and 8c/16t versions) -- even though the nominal base frequency is lower. Maybe its a feature of the basic Ryzen design.

Exclusive: AMD’s Threadripper 2990X 32 Core Will Hit 4.0 GHz [All Cores] On Air On New [Stock] Wraith Coolers
AMD is introducing new Wraith Ripper coolers that will allow its flagship processor, the Threadripper 2990X/WX to hit 4.0 GHz on all cores on air.
Since this is the all-core boost, it naturally implies that single and fewer core boosts will be much higher.
We can also confirm that the leaks with the processor scoring 6000 points on Cinebench are accurate and the AMD Threadripper 2990X/WX will be able to hit that score using the stock [in the box] Wraith cooler. All in all, Threadripper 2 is shaping up to be an absolutely disruptive platform and we can’t wait for reviews to go live.
