Personally I don't see any evidence about this statement in low
price solution. I use AMD for a long time and it has never as
overclockable as Intel. The first one I have found is A64 3000 which I

I think overclocking shoudn't be understood as a feature you pay
for. It's mainly a matter of luck. Reliability (probability of crash)
and lifetime of such machines could be worse.
