speed is 800 Mhz and the max is 2 Ghz. I can underclock to 50%
and get a range from 400 Mhz to 1 Ghz. Does this mean that it
will drop the low end of the range down to 100 Mhz? If so, I
think that's useful.
No. The 100MHz granularity means more sku availability. Right now, AMD has to offer things in 200MHz gaps, such as 2.0GHz, 2.2GHz, and 2.4GHz. If they want to offer 5 skus, they'll have to start doing things like 2.0GHz/512KB, 2.0GHz/1M, etc. However, with 100MHz gaps, they don't need to alter cache to affect performance, which often offers unreliable or inconsistent gains. Instead, they can have the flexibility launch a 2.1GHz part. It's something that helps in marketing, but it's not a terribly interesting feature for end-users.
