There's a modest single digit performance boost at isoclock, but the
63xx series also has the fastest core you will see in the
owner-controlled x86 world (3.8GHz).  The 62xx tops out at 3.6GHz.

Both are 32nm and completely obsolete by modern standards.  The POWER9
chip for instance will run circles around either one of these, so I'd
say rather than looking for maximum absolute performance at high cost,
go for the 62xx series.  It'll still last you a long time for moderate
computing needs.
