Dale: What an absurd approach. If they would just trottle back the clock speed from 1.5 GHz to 1.0 GHz they could drop the voltage. Sounds rather PowerNow!-ish ;-) (or even SpeedStep-ish) Seriously, though... the only possible reason I can think of that Intel implemented such a primitive solution is that the problem was only discovered very late in the project cycle. Maybe it's fixed in the high pin-count Willamette (if such a chip is actually released), but certainly the problem would seem to "go away" (for a while, anyway) once .13mu production is reached. -fyo
