Actually im glad they removed the sparate clock domain for the L3 cache and now it runs at core frequency. You don't have to worry anymore about at which speed you have to run your uncore part so that you can run a certain mem frequency. Good old stuff from pre nehalem returns.
No, your right, you don't have to worry, but then again look at what we can do with those Nehalems that we wouldn't if they were designed like SB..
