Kevin - Re: Especially dumb, IMHO, because Intel hasn't managed to gain any incremental speed grade boost from going through the trouble.

Didn't they drop the voltage, though? This would lead to:
1. Lower power-consumption --> longer battery life (very important, IMHO)
2. Less heat generated --> less demanding packaging/motherboard/etc. requirements --> cheaper
