AMD having trouble with 65nm stock voltage speed

Something more specific than the vague “they have issues” has finally come out regarding AMD‘s problems with 65nm, which is currently the most advanced lithographic node for volume semiconductor manufacturing. According to The Inquirer, it seems AMD is having problems getting the speeds they need out of the stock voltages.

This is forcing AMD to use 60-plus percent more power than they wanted to, which kind of skews the performance per watt leadership they are claiming. There is a bit more than three months to go before AMD misses any deadlines, so there is still time to work on and solve this problem.
