Dan, Re: "Since power goes up at voltage squared, using the "same" power at a given frequency actually indicates a power savings of about 20% - and isn't that what was seen with Thunderbird/Palomino?"

Excellent observation! It seems the power savings for Morgan and Palomino are both similar. The question is, will there be an imminent release of higher speed grades that would justify the voltage hike, or is this meant for the long term? I'm also curious if faster speed grades of Athlons are on their way, given that faster Duron releases will soon be entering the frequency range where Athlon is enjoying the highest volumes.
