On CPUs it is STILL about hte wattage though. From what I understand current does not change, they arelimited to specific amount, to get more power to a chip you raise the volts to raise the total wattage supplied. So yes, more volts does help.

I always though that wattage was constant and that lowering voltage meant that more current was needed, but was informed by a couple of reputable, and some not so reputable people that it is not the case.
