    Going from trend, I think it will just have an increased northbridge/IMC speed.

    200 mhz right?

    Yeah, more likely right?

    I guess it would be a rare event that AMD launches a new product that early (instead of September). It would however be a smart move launching before the back to school season is in full swing.

    Looks like 400 mhz higher hypertransport link from 1800mhz to 2200 mhz. Will this affect stability or heat output at all? I have read that higher hypertransport links help increase stability especially when overclocking..

    I think I read somewhere that it will benefit integrated graphics accessing the shared memory more than anything else.

    What about the shared memory on dedicated graphics that have their own dedicated memory but also pull from the shared memory?

    i/e: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650
    Video Memory up to 2815MB total available graphics memory with 1024MB dedicated

    Yeah, in theory it should help those too but not as much since they already have a decent framebuffer. ;) With 1GB dedicated, I doubt it would ever eat into system memory.

    Probably only at very high resolutions and detail settings.. Perhaps it would help with 3D Modeling?
