g3258 vs g3260

[cronturd]

Can anyone tell me why the G3258 @ 3.2GHz beats the G3260 @ 3.3GHz in most benchmarks. The G3260 is identical except it has a locked multiplier and it has a higher clock speed yet it benchmarks lower across a range of tests.

Because the 3258 can be overclocked. Real world performance between the two would be nearly identical unless the 3258 was overclocked a lot.
