I think the definition is a little looser than what Intel was/is doing with 
their CPUs.

My Newton MessagePad 2100 was after-market "overclocked" by changing the timing 
crystal and swapping out another part or 2. The base CPU was rated at a higher 
clock rate than Apple promised, and making the other parts increase to the 
actual CPU yield made the whole system faster.

I have never heard of "overclocking" non-Intel/x86 CPUs. In fact, if I recall 
correctly, "overclocking" was just a gimmick for Intel to match OxO CPU speeds 
at a time right before/slightly after Pentium release.
