Paul - RE: "I guess we're in for some more jacked-up voltages on the AthWiper !"

Doing that sure is MUCH easier and faster than coming out with a new stepping which requires a new ramp, and then a few months later coming out with ANOTHER stepping, that happens to also jack up the voltage even though the processor is 14% smaller, which requires a brand new ramp AGAIN. Oh, and did I mention these TWO new ramps are necessary in a capacity constrained enviroment?

AMD just ups the voltage and BAM! they get faster processors.
