Stupid question,Most AMD processor like athlon64 is design for value minded and who that need next generation feature@ good price.So many of them like to overclock,and AMD FSB is higher that intel,so suitable for overclocking.And intel clockspeed is enough high and no need oc.
stupid answer

1. Athlon64 is not designed for value minded. AMD created Athlon64 to compete with Intel's Pentium4. If you're talking about value, Sempron is in AMD's value segment, to compete with Celeron..

2. AMD K8 architecture does not have FSB.

3. High FSB does not mean that it's favourable for overclocking. Even if an Intel has a high FSB, but the multi is damn locked low... most likely there will be limitation in overclocking. It then depends on how high can the northbridge (memory controller) help push the speed.

1. The A64 does not have FSB. Some models are multiplier locked.
2. It depends. The E6300/6400 are great overclockers.
All Athlon64 are multiplier unlocked downwards, while the FX series are fully unlocked.

Only Sempron with 8x multi or less are locked.
