Is there any difference in temperature of a CPU overclocked versus one running at default speed, even if they come up even?

If I have a 900MHz/200 Athlon running at 1.2GHz/266 will that be hotter than a true 1.2/266 or will they be the same?

OC procesors are hoter than a normall CPU, you have to remember that there are parts inside the chip running at much higher speeds than they were designed for, so they are going to get hot.
