No.
Let's say you have a E8200 which runs at 2.66 GHz and you overclock it to 3.33 GHz. You've increased the power of your cpu to that of a E8600.
Is this just benchmarking and bragging power? No, it's an increase in computing power. And your cpu also has a major effect on the graphic system. If you try to power a 280GTX with a Pentium 4 cpu you'll find that your 280GTX performs well below specifications. Whereas a 280GTX paired with a overclocked E9650 will perform above the rated specifications.
