This is not the same as other Arduino boards, the Arduino Due board runs at 3.3V. The maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Providing higher voltages, like 5V to an I/O pin could damage the board. 
ARM core strengths 
The use of 32 bit ARM core Due compared to the previous use of the other Iduino core 8 AVR more powerful. 

The main differences are: 
* 32 bits at a clock can process 32 bits of data. 
* CPU clock frequency of 84Mhz 
* 96 SRAM KBytes 
* 512 Flash KBytes 
* A DMA controller, can reduce the pressure on the CPU to do a lot of computing
