when we changed to .18 from .25 there was a big reduction, and everyone was happy for a while, then with TBirds above 1ghz we hit the same thing again, especially with the 1.4ghz. The the AXP came out with reduced power, everyone became happy again, then 2000+ and 2100+ came out, making it hotter again. Now we are all seeing .13u as the saviour. It isn't really that great. sure it will use lower voltage, and lower heat at first, but by the end of the model line we will be above what the current 2100+ is doing
