The heat reduction will probably be negligable. Its essentially diminishing returns unless they spend the money to redesign the internals of the chip.

Go directly to physics II, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

As for looking at the power graphs for the Cells progression. The low end of the graph in terms of power consumption remains relatively steady whilst the upper limits say 4Ghz+ frequencies require far less voltage to obtain as the process nodes move from 90 -> 65 -> 45nm.

Found it.

I see a graph with a near halving of "Power" (whatever that means) at 3.2 GHz.
