The 3200+ is a rating not the actual clock speed.
Depending upon the stepping, the minimum power state can be as low as 800Mhz and the highest 2.2Ghz but never higher.

I can confirm that. Highest it's ever reached under high performance is 2.2Ghz. If i want any higher, i'm going to have to overclock, but i'm not doing that until my processor looks incredibly slow compared to most others.
