A8V - Why is Venice minimum voltage 1.1V ?

Although the A8V can undervolt Winchester cores down to 0.8V, it seems
to be resistant to doing this with Venice cores. Does anyone know why?

I know I'm destined to get helpful suggestion from people without an
A8V-Venice combination, but it would be nice to hear from someone who
either (1) didn't have this problem or (2) did.

My guess is because 1.1V is the lowest vcore "Cool n Quite" uses.

I don't use C'n'Q, and even the BIOS will not let you go down below
1.1V. If you set a lower voltage, CrystalCPUID and RMclock both tell
you it's back at 1.1V
