I'm hoping for the dock to run the games, not the handeld (potentially more horsepower).

Not happending, its too costly to do things that way.
The benefits of keeping things in 1 system, instead of makeing 2 that work together is too big.
Plus look at the size of the docking station. Seriously doubt theres anything in there that gives it more horsepower.
Its just a strong tablet, and thats it.
When it docks it doesnt have to worry about power usage, so it runs faster.
But its all running on that chip inside the tablet.

To not be using the APU on the tablet would just be a waste of that hardware budget while docked.
A simple upclock (possibly with extra cooling from dock) is straightforward enough.
It's plausible they could have an SLI-type setup that syncs with the tablet APU (using 100% of both).
Or alternatively, just de-activate a certain amount of cores of CPU/GPU in mobile mode.
