Micheal - <Why does a voltage raise for AMD mean "bad ramping"
and when intel has to raise voltage, it means "nothing at all">

Because the difference between .05 and .2 is huge. That's all I'm saying. OK, for the very last speed grade in .25, Intel raised the voltage .05V. Ceded. Somewhere in the middle of AMD's .25 life the voltage was raised .2, a big percentage for the middle of a process.

It's all acedemic anyway. .18 runs at something a lot less than .2 with very impressive power dissipation characteristics. I am especeially pleased with mobile product performance, but desktop isn't shabby either.

BTW, I'm not an idiot.
