Kash: Re The CPU core only has 128K l2 cache not 256K I believe - so say 80mm2. The graphics and chipset and memeory controller may get up to 50mm2 max IMHO.

A 3D graphics core is no small thing. It does several hundred operations per cycle compared to only a few for a
processor (believe me, I know what I am talking about). This is the reason that I guess that the Timna die size will be
twice as big as the PIII on the same process. somewhere in the 200mm2 area. They may save quite some mm2 on the padring area by going to flipchip packaging. It would be interesting to know the die size of the i810 since this one has integrated 3D graphics.

Has anyone on the thread a clue?

Hans.
