When overclocking do all CPUs end up the same???

[alphaqforever247]

like say u get a amd 64 3200 3700 and 4000 but there all clock at 2.7 does this make them all them same.

If the memory were set to same speed than performance would be identical to athlons that are the same like the 3700 and 4000+. If both set to 270*10 with idenitcal memory timings and/or divider, they would perform the same as they have same cpu and memory speed. The 3700 and 4000 have twice the cache of the 3200+ though. So that is a factor x to consider. Some apps perform a bit better with cache and it never hurts.

If the L2 cache is the same then yeah. Also the newer cores support stuff like SSE3, so that affects things too.
