PB, <I didn't consider a .05 voltage increase something even worth considering, since the competition was raising theirs an order of magnitude higher in comparison. I stand corrected, and still say big deal.> Here we go again and again! You are a real stubborn, PB. I don't believe a reasonable honest person can skip evidences like own Intel publications. With a reference to the original Intel publication I have shown to the thread in Message 11078238 that the Intel 0.25 process was designed for 1.8V but did not meet performance target, so Intel has to jack up the voltage upfront to 2.0V, and now to 2.05V. I will take my time and show you (in case you are not familiar with fractions and inequalities) that 0.25/1.8= 13.9% is bigger than 0.2/2.2=9.1%. Do I make it clear now, or do you still believe that it is true that "the competition was raising theirs an order of magnitude higher in comparison." I am sure you will not respond to this post :)
