Define "not well"
I feel I probably got one of the weaker E7200 chips and I'm seeing Intel Burn Test 12 hour stable at 3.46 GHz with 1.33v in CPUz with 58c load.
While this is less than some people are reporting, I wouldn't really call it "not overclocking well".
The E0 steppings that the e8xxx processors are getting are definitely better chips, but the e7200 & 7300 are significantly cheaper.
IMO e7200 and e7300 are very likely the exact same chips just one has 9.5x and the other a 10x multiplier. Nobody is limited on multiplier that didn't wish they bought and e8400 instead.
