I don't think thats even possible, as the A/M silicon is specifically designed/fabbed for lower clockspeeds.

That is like saying every single Intel CPU cant be overclocked because they were not designed to do so. There certainly is a limit ( It definitely cant do 5Ghz ), but I am willing bet a 20% is easily achievable with enough cooling.
Maybe one could get f_clock a bit higher, but what would be the point comparing an overclocked CPU with one working at normal frequency?
