I don't think that the difference is significant. It may be just that the technologies that a particular manufacturer uses, for eg. -Intel, AMD etc. is based on quantum speeds i.e. it can take only fixed value, which is a multiple of a particular value, or achieved by adding to a lesser value. Like wise RAM also exists in multiples of 8 MB.

The overall processor frequency, i.e. - FSB frequency multiplied by the core ratio.
