Your logic is flawed IMO. The Sandy at 1.5V will still run cooler than the Ivy at 1.35V and possibly out clock it as well. Don't get me wrong I'll be getting one just for s and giggles but if it can't do, and it probably won't, 5 Gees reliably and not burn a hole in my mobo i'll be getting rid of it and putting my good ol Sandy back.
