Denis Zhdanov proposed the following answer:
Hi julien,

No, for same timestamp metrics will be overwritten. And not only for same timestamp, but for all timestamps matching with lowest retention. I.e. if you have retention = 60 s there's no need to send metrics more often than once per 60 s - last one will overwrite previous ones from same minute.
Thing what are you looking for is calling statsd - it has counters, timers etc. Check that link for details - http://blog.pkhamre.com/2012/07/24/understanding-statsd-and-graphite/
