[Aradan - 6/29/2012] One comment about Low Voltage processors - traditionally they were actually sold for a premium (sometimes a lot) over equivalent (or even faster) standard voltage parts because only the best-behaved chips can actually sustain decent clock speeds at low voltage. So they were generally treated as premium parts with a particular use case in mind (namely, performance per Watt), rather than budget parts. I guess that fits with the idea of shifting from a "low-end" category to a "budget" category pretty well, but the chips themselves might have more value than higher-clocked, standard voltage parts, even if they have lower performance.

[Aradan - 6/29] Reading it back now, I'm not actually sure what my point was above.
