Dave - Re: "Could these chips be directly placed into a notebook, or
does AMD need to go through another redesign?"

Several factors are at play.

First, the higher voltage (Vcc = 2.1 or 2.2 volts) must be dealt with.

Second, the higher power dissipation (proportional to Vcc^2) will lead to reduced battery life or reduced speed - the chip may have to be throttled back to 200 or 233 MHz and a lower voltage.

Three - many notebooks use TAB (Tape Automated Bonding) packaging - AMD may have to develop/license/outsource this packaging for notebook manufacturers.
