Maxwell, I thought some idiots on this thread who claim to be process experts said that AMD couldn't achieve 1.8V CMOS process. A properly engineered design will show a somewhat linear relationship between voltage and clock speed. By reducing the clock speed, you can run at a lower voltage and power consumption, which is ideal for notebooks. The 300MHz 1.8V parts are probably 400MHz parts, which have been tested at lower voltage and frequency. Scumbria
