choice of Transceiver-FPGA Fabric Interface clock rate for 14.1Gbps data rate

Hi, 

I have a question regarding the maximum clock frequency applicable to Transceiver-FPGA Fabric Interface in Stratix-V device. based on switching charactristic information (Table 2–19. in Stratix-V devie handbook) the Transceiver-FPGA Fabric Interface speed should be no more than 283 MHz for –1 speed grade. this corresponds to a 50bit Transceiver-FPGA Fabric interface width. 

is it possible to use a 40bit width interface with clock rate of around 350MHz. and if so, what is the recommended core clock in a FPGA about half resource populated. 

thanks, 

bahman
