    Is NB >2600mhz the Difference?

    Is the ability of Phenom II to oc NB beyond 2600mhz the difference maker in games when compared to other processors? Is this why the Dragon platform solution has the "potential" to best any other combo?

    Or did my wife slip something in my coffee this morning?

    NB > 2600 is rare but certainly possible even with a Phenom I and the right tweaks. The HT Link has more influence over CPU video processing than the NB by itself but the NB does determine the total possible I/O of the CPU.

    I didn't really get the rest of the question - I guess I'm dense today ...

    I think so. But it's a combination of high northbride and hypertransport speeds that lead to an increase in performance.

    And I believe the northbridge and hypertransport is why phenom users claim smoother gameplay.

    It has been postulated in XS that the integration of cpu, memory, chipset, video card, and drivers results in a synergy producing superior performance. This is the AMD fusion marketing position. After the AMD event in Boston, some peeps reported Phenom II beat an i7 965 in a Crysis demo.

    We don't know about that yet, hasn't been any details on if that'll make a difference and I don't see how it could really.
