"This refined processor stepping allows the processor to stay stable at higher clock speeds without requiring an increase in core voltage. The obvious benefit is that you can put an inexpensive overclocked AMD processor into your PC, and the CPU fan won't need to run at speeds that make it sound like a turbine. Thus, thanks to the low thermal power dissipation, you don't need to spend extra money on a complex cooling solution."
