Speaking to this platform, the i5 cpu(s) don't have the hyper threading while the i7 versions do. They both use the turbo, upclocking Intel Feature just fine. Minus the northbridge and the coupling of a pci controller on the chip, it seems 3x sli and such are not possible. It'll handle a full 16x lane of data but no more. Not like you'd max out that 16x lane with 2 current gen cards but who knows.
The memory bandwidth, even with the enormous mem speeds being seen, doesn't seem to trump the 1366 i7's at stock speeds. I haven't seen any overclock for overclock comparisons to make a judgement on it either. I'm very curious.
I'm also curious on the smoothness of game titles with this processor and platform. I know AMD gaming rigs are pretty much VERY smooth.
If I've hit any wrong points, fire back cuz I'd like to get a better understanding of this on chip mem controller and pci controller business. That and how an nf200 chip plays into the mix.
