Buckwheat - Re: "could there be some advantage(s) to having a single product (cpu) that falls within the lower end of desktop voltage range and higher limit of mobile voltage range (ie... 2.1 volts)?"

I can't think of any.

Desktops and Notebooks use entirely different power supplies - very little common hardware in that area.

Outlook 1998--Semiconductors

New Markets, New Designs

Not Yet The Year For System-On-A-Chip, But Some Growth

By Jim DeTar

Mountain View, Calif.--In 1998, semiconductor sales will be driven by the market for new categories of systems and
attached devices like DVD (digital video disc) and high-speed modems. Although unit sales of semiconductors will increase,
total revenues will not grow as much because manufacturing capacity will remain abundant, with several industry leaders
predicting a slight overcapacity in the coming year.
