The difference being that they test it somewhat outside what the chip
is finally rated for. This way they have some margins. If one is serious
about overclocking, find a setting that works during several days, then go
back a little bit.

Intel has a rather large margin. Amd at least used to have a lot smaller
margin. Then there are the remarked intel cpu:s, it is easy to get stuck
with one of them.
