Hansdevries,

Re: "die size of graphics"

I suspect you are a tad clueless or missing the point.

A VGA core taks about 20K gates plus small ram and RAM DACS it is <5mm2 in core area.

Modern cores may take 10-20mm2.

Where the area is large ie 100mm2 is taken when folks are doing very high end graphics chips such as Geforce etc.

The class of core on timna will be modest not leading edge and will used shared memory between system and graphics.

Your guess of a 200mm2 core size for timna is WAY OFF IMHO.

regards,

Kash
