Are you talking about effective clocks ? The actual clock would be 1375. By god I hate the term "effective clock" since that shit originated from nvidia. :P

Another question, what is the effect of bigger bus on the heat generated by the DRAM ? (Well y'know PC DRAM runs at a bus width of 64bit.) 

As for heat, it will  be Bucklies, most of the extra heat would be generated by the memory controller not the actual DRAM IC's.

Your right but wouldn't that make the APU hotter ? 

Of course he is wrong. Doubling the bus width would of course require double the ram chips. If you ever touched the ram chips in a running pc, you'd know there is quite some heat there. The mb design would have to be changed to a more expensive slot layout (or a problematic dual sided layout of the mem chips). The APU would get somewhat hotter and bigger since it now has 8 memory controller/drivers (proided you can actually route 8 controllers inside an APU). And it is doubtful a bandwidth increase would actually increase the overal performance.
