If the CPU manufacturer can demonstrate a condition when the CPU can draw so high of current, you have to design your system to live through this condition even if it never happens under normal operating condition. You want your hardware to survive whenever your OS crashes in such a way that the CPU runs the same code to cause such a high current draw, right? Since POWER DISSIPATION is proportional to (FEATURE SIZE) * (VOLTAGE)^2 * FREQUENCY, The high current draw occurs at the highest voltage, which is 2.3V not 2.2V. Over millions of K6 system expected to ship every quarter, how confident are you to say that Vcc2 and Vcc3 never occur the highest at the same time? Time Traveler
