It seems like AMCC is building a better FinFET. If you can better suppress power supply noise, as the patent application states, you could probably get away with using a cheaper power supply.

...or, a circuit with better noise immunity can send multi-level signals, like PAM-4.

"...for high-speed signals, random and induced noise becomes a significant factor."
