No... they're very very close, but the newer 6870 is better.
Make the processor run faster.
If you have a processor that runs at 2.6Ghz at stock, and overclock it to 5.2Ghz, you've DOUBLED the speed at which the processor calculates whatever. (5.2 is a bit too lofty a goal, though)
Also Intel chips tend to be more powerful and efficient, clcok for clock than AMD chips, mostly because AMD hasn't created a new architecture for about 7 years
That sounds pretty good, but two questions:
1. Are there down sides/risks to overclocking?
2. Do I need more than 3.4GHz?
And thanks Telapicus, I'll look into the 5870
