Are automatic camshafts and 5 speed camshafts the same???

I read in someones post that the camshafts from an factory automatic b16a were different (weaker) than the camshafts from a factory 5 speed (stronger)...
Is this true??? does this apply to other motors too like DOHC ZC, and B18A or B???
thanks
