Why does sysinfo report the CPU as being at a different speed in each photo?

VBR is different too. Something is way different between the two pictures.
 
It's not actually possible for sysinfo to know what your clock speed is. It just guesses and lots of things can affect that guess.

What is the VBR anyway? I saw it was different, but don't know what it is :p

It's where the interrupt vectors are stored. Interrupts will be processed quicker if the vectors are in fast ram than chip ram, because fast ram is quicker.
 
If the vbr is different then when it was allocated the machine was in a different state.
