Kash,

Re: "The reason the I/O can handle higher voltages is by circuit design."

I'm in total agreement ... I/O pads can actually be designed to handle
much higher voltages (ie 5.0 V) and the gate oxide will not even see this
voltage. However, I think the discussion has been recently about AMD
raising their core voltage because they were having yield problems at the
233mhz bin point. You must also agree that raising the operating core
voltage WILL decrease the effective lifetime of the chip.

Make It So,
Yousef
