It isn't as simple as that. You basically have a critical loop on one core that determines the frame rate. What blocks are inside this loop is up to how the game is designed, but an increase of 30% in clock frequency could easily mean that there could be a tenfold in drawcalls, or a doubling of complexity of the ai routine(s), or whatever. You have 6 cores that are 30% faster, you won't find out what happens until you try it out, and then start to reoptimise for your new clock rate.
