Scumbria,

I don't know what they are using the regulators for, but it seems pretty safe to
speculate that running a large die at 500-700 MHz would cause all kinds of clock
skew/power distribution problems.


Why should it be any worse than, for example, a motherboard with four 500 MHz CPU chips, chipset, DRAM, etc., on it, and connectors hanging all over it?
