is it in the same motherboard? if the processor is PHYSICALLY a different size, then you should be more concerned for the mobo then the heatsink that straps to the mobo

Yep, same motherboard (or most likely just the same socket) will have the same heatsink mounts.  If the socket type is different it may or may not fit.

Both have the same socket. So they should work.
