From the nikon web site processing engine enable it to shoot at a staggering 9 fps (11 fps in DX Crop mode). 64 frames is a pretty big buffer. The outgoing Nikon and Canon never even got close to that.

And from the press release At 9 fps, the D3 is the world’s fastest full format D-SLR1, with an even faster 11fps consecutive shooting possible in DX crop mode

JPEG Large/Normal: 64 shots (at 9 fps)
So clearly that refers to the FX 9Fps mode not the DX 11Fps mode.

All Pro Nikon models have a CH and CL Mode and you can select how many FPS in the settings.
