Check if the 3.6GHz i5 3350p reaches a 3.7 boost and compare it to the 3570k's performance.

I wonder if there are other distinctions between processors in the same series and category besides frequency. I've increased the basic clock speed on my i5 3350p via BIOS, and it's remained stable for nearly a year without any BSODs. The temperatures are also decent (under 55-56°C) thanks to my CM T4.
Thank you all for your prompt reply. This matter concerned me for some time.
