Sure.  This setting controls the maximum kernel frequency that the governor
will use.
However, it overrides the default, which for RPi3 is 1200MHz. In effect, it
is throttling the RPi3 to have the same maximum cpu frequency as a RPi1.
See https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Overclocking for
details on the settings.
It is best to leave the config.txt as bare as possible, only overriding
system defaults if there is a reason to.
