Basically, Buckwheat, I think he's trying to tell you that the lower voltage Intel chips will theoretically run at higher mhz levels. So you're abolutely right that the warnings about higher power consumption making a 2.2v chip unsuitable for notebooks are horsesh*t. So while we already knew that Intel may be a couple of speed grades ahead of AMD, the NEW info introduced into the equation is that AMD will have a notebook product it didn't have before. This means higher ASPs for AMD and lower ASPs for Intel, regardless of whether or not the chip competes at the highest end of the notebook market. And remember, K6 outperformes P55C at a given clock speed, so Intel had better make damn well sure it can ship at higher clocks than AMD.
