Timna Die size ~250 mm2 in 0.18 micron?

Since Timna has:

1) PIII processor core = ~100 mm2
2) 740 3D graphics core = ~125 mm2 (450 mm2 in 0.35!)
3) Chipset functionality = ... mm2

We can estimate the die size at ~250 mm2 in 0.18 which is
huge. Is Intel going to use this for the cheapest systems?
It might well be that they will use dumping tactics.
They tried to erase ATI, Matrox, Nvidia and S3 from the
surface of they earth by "selling" their 3D graphics chip
with a whopping size of 450 mm2 for 15 bugs!! in
package deals. Thanks god they failed as we know now.
(and lost a lot of money on doing so)

Hans.
