It looks you got a higher clocked CPU for the same price. the 800MHz is probably because of activated power saving options.

Power saving options should be changed within your operating system, sometimes they disable if on AC power.

If this a "SpeedStep" CPU, check Bay Wolf's SpeedStep FAQ for more info.
