This is not a fact. It is greatly depends on kind of application to be performed. Even if the AMD cpus really work more efficiently than INTEL cpus it is very difficalt to calculate how much dou they work more efficient. It is greatly depends on way of calculations. But AMD claims that they one cpu with some frequency is equal to another cpu (INTEL) with higher frequency and write this frequency on the box (so called pentium rating - PR). I suppose it is not correct.

I would unclock back to default BIOS settings when I change out the CPU. I really wonder if HP's motherboard would allow what you are doing, but I really do not know why not either.

Off hand I would say you can do it.

I changed a CPU in a Sony and it worked.The change was with Celerons and the original was slower than the replacement like what you are doing.

You might see if the 3.8 uses more current and whether it is too hot for the HSF that was OK with the 3.2.
