John,

Re: "If your voltage equation is true, AMD's processors
should be running x% slower than Intels (desktop or notebook), where "x" is the
percentage by which operating voltage is higher."

Yes, this is partially correct ... BTW, this has been demonstrated
in the .35um generation.

300mhz(2.5V) = 233mhz(3.2V)

For mobile CPU's, the above only holds comparing CPU's at the same power.

I'm willing to see if this holds true for the .25um generation as well.
Also, we haven't even talked about the "power" issues associated with
higher supply voltages. I think you should ask AMD why they
are not optimizing their .25um process for a lower voltage !! Let me
know what you hear back.

Make It So,
Yousef
