I would suppose that while clock speed lets a CPU think faster, bus speed lets it communicate faster. 

So the SNES could process more stuff, but the Genesis could actually display more or some such?


The bus is about speed, but that's not all that the system does. Because the CPU on the SNES was so fast, good programming could make up for the slower bus speed. Hence Street Fighter II Turbo could go even faster than the arcade.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
