There was a review somewhere comparing an MSI P35 with 16x/4x, Asus P35 with 8x/8x, and an X48 with 16x/16x and there was no difference between the last two. I only got an X48 due to impatience, but graphics performance on the P45 shouldnt be any different to X48. The only difference will be the price tag, and overclock ability.
Add to that less heat coz of the NB die shrink
