However, these chips also have a higher starting clock than older generations (pre P4 era). If you're asking about a percentage based overclock, then yes. A lot of chips could reach 50% overclocks, etc.

NO, what i mean is that these chips have multiple power planes, and different types of transistors that have much different tolerances...in the same silicon. Parts of the chip can take 1.4v, others can blow if you give more than 1.25v. And these parts are on the same die...
