I did hear about that, and it sounds great and all, but it only does it when three or more cores are idle. This would only happen in dual-core threaded games, which in most cases are older or less intensive ones, or possibly console ports (does the Xbox's trip-core PPC CPU have hyerthreading?), none of which would really be in need of the difference between, say 2.8 and 3.2 GHz. If they had worked out a way to do this with 2 cores underclocking/4 overclocking, then I would buy one for sure.
It just is not the most practical feature for gamers, which seems to be most of AMD's high-end audience.
