All of them can supply it. The DCDC2 regulator they use for the CPU
can go as low as 0.7V. The question is whether the CPU itself can work
at such a low voltage. And the operating limits for the CPU is
documented to be 1V - 1.4V. Anything else is either over or
underclocking, which might or might not work on individual SoCs. So
it's not something that we're going to support.
