I installed in on my X570 ACE and performance seems to have returned to roughly what it was with the launch bios (after decreasing the last few releases).
A few quick benches with the "leaked" bios installed are below. The only thing I did was enable XMP and adjust the fans down to ~40% to keep noise in check.

The bios itself seems a little rough around the edges, but I admittedly haven't spent much time playing with it yet.
What’s “rough” about it?
I was getting a little bit over 4.1ghz now 4.2ghz with CB20 benchmark with the new SMU 46.49.0. So it shows potential and that was using PBO with +200mhz clock but everything else in Auto. Still a lot more experimenting to be had. This is with an UnOfficial, user modified bios (The Stilt) which he indicated that he only changed out the SMU code for the bios - meaning to me it may be leaving out hooks and settings new to the SMU in the bios. We just have to see how the different motherboard makers make use of any changes inside the bios.Gigabytes forums have an F7a beta bios available but it mentions nothing about new SMU microcode.
Thus, I am going to wait before flashing it. But stay tuned. Gigabyte will have it soon I am sure. I was hoping to get more than 4075mhz all core on my 3900x. I was hoping for around a 4200 all core.
This is CB 20 rendering showing boost behavior with all cores. Initially it is over 4.3ghz but as temperature goes up it goes down. To get boost to drive all cores to over 4.3ghz requires some rather cool conditions is what I am finding. Another video here:

I just run mine at 4.1 all core manually and let it crunch away.
Yeah but you lose your single core boost

Sure, but can get his boost complaining about it on the internet.
He complained? I may have missed that.

I missed that, too.
That was PBO. PBO does seem to do more for multi-core then before but not much for single. Temperature really affects the boost speeds, even lower temperatures like 65c can start affecting the boost you see for multi-core.Is that stock settings? PBO on or manual OC, if not?
i do not have a 3000 series processor at the moment ,but the new bios has had a effect on my 2600.i have it set to a manual overclock and the power settings are set to microsoft's balanced power plan not the ryzen plan. I now have 2 cores that constantly stay at 4.025ghz and sometimes as many as four.this much better than letting the processor boost on it's on
realistically it doesn't matter what power plan you use.. the only real differences between ryzen power plan and windows power plan is that the windows one took longer to pull cores out of their parked state which effected benchmark scores. supposedly there was more added to the power plan for zen 2 but honestly don't see much of a difference.
I'm surprised there was a real.world difference, so good on AMD for not just brining the frequency up a tiny bit, but actually making it meaningful beyond a single boost #.I'm seeing a substantial difference in some benchmarks and the Hardware unboxed video is showing meaningful changes in some games. I am pleased with the update and satisfied with my chip.
Switched to the Ryzen power plan and all 6 cores went to 40.25 ghz and would not idle back down to 1.5ghz or there abouts.CB20 in single core went up only 6 points. I don't think that will make any difference. Going to leave the power plan with W10 balanced power plan as both clock speeds and processor voltage's go down.

I just updated to 1001 on my C8H, fuck all difference as far as I can tell, if anything, boost behaviour is a little worse. Also, something that's been bugging me since I built this machine. In Ryzen Master, C06 on CCX 1 is tagged yellow (gold if you will). My understanding is this is supposed to be the fastest core. However C01 and C02 on CCX 0 are the ones boosting. Doesn't make sense to me. Voltages all over the place too, seeing 1.46V in Ryzen Master, which broadly matches HWinfo. Max clock in HWinfo is 4342MHz during R20 single core.
I ran Prime95 Blend Test overnight and checked the results this morning. Went from zero cores hitting 4.4GHz on my 3700X to five core hitting the targeted 4.4GHz boost speed on an ASUS Strix 570-E running the official ABBA release. This is on the stock Wraith Prism cooler as well, pretty happy with the result and glad AMD addressed this.
Could you upload that Prime95 I want to try out that one.
