It's all about marketing.
AMD's reason to pick 790GX for reviewers and the Dragon platform is that it pretty much guarantees two things compared to FX:
-All GX have SB750 AFAIK, which is needed for ACC. AMD is pushing the P2 as a good overclocker.
-Lower price, which is very important for AMD today because of the competition.
The dragon platform is not only a platform but also a recommendation to customers, especially those who doesn't really know what to buy.
By choosing the dragon parts you are
1- less likely to go wrong (like OCing) if you're a noob, and
2- you buy AMD only parts.
It's the noobs that needs help to choose, not people here at XS.
