980 BE Clocks 3.7 Ghz at Default.
955 BE Clocks 3.2 GHz at Default.

Both got other specifications pretty much same. But On 955 BE in most reviews passes out at OC around 3.8 GHz tops on air cool. Which is pretty much Stock of Phenom 980 BE

Refer AnandTech - AMD's Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition

While 980 Goes to 4.2 GHz on any cheap air cooler solution.

Is there any difference between the two I am missing?
