Server chips are sometimes already down clocked for stability or are binned for ability to handle more heat/voltage/clock, and so may have more headroom in some cases.
Doing computation produces heat, doing more computation at once produces more heat. If you build a cpu doing 512bits of math at a time, and get it to max clock, you'll be able to do math 32bits at a time, at a higher clock, because its a bit cooler. It is just physics.
