Intel Corp (INTC)

boring: I actually think that maybe wrong...

I know all the sites are saying that it's 2.9GHZ but Intel already makes 2 Xeon parts that are similar:

12 core Xeon Gold 6146 which runs at 3.2GHZ base and 4.2GHZ turbo.

18 Core Xeon Gold 6154 which runs at 3.0GHZ base and 3.7GHZ turbo.

So there maybe some reason why they lowered the frequency. But Intel is clearly capable of making it faster. Also the turbo is missing in that document which suggests it maybe also be a placeholder.
