How about some faster clocking capability? Hardly. Check the Vcc requirements to get an 1800+ up to 1.9 and 2.0 GHz: 1.95 and 2.15 volts respectively. Shouldn't the suckers punch through or something like that with these voltages on a 0.13 device?

Remember what I and others said in the past about AMD's transistors already being essentially 0.13 micron on the 0.18 micron bulk process. The only frequency headroom they'll get is if they were interconnect limited... doubtful on a processor as mature as the K7. They're not going to be able to scale the transistors smaller until they move to 193nm, so the only option they had to get more performance was SOI. For their sake, it'd better work.
