At this point in time BD NB clocks are only numbers for us. We don't know what was changed in MC in BD. Yes Thuban's like 2.6ghz NB speeds to use 1600mhz ram effectively. But BD MC can be more efficient and might not need those clocks. Or BD MC might be clocked higher than Thuban NB and thus there will be no need to clock it even higher. It might be the case that clocking NB will not give us any benefits, like todays HT link in thubans, which when you clock higher than stock even decreases performance sometimes.
So I suppose knowing how high can CPU clock go is important for us OCers, but we cannot say the same about NB clocks.
