Re: You don't know what you are talking about. The passivity coating BS is just one such example. It is not very thick. Well under 50um. Not enough to change the size of a die measured in 0.1mm units. Wbmw's link to the Celeron 500 series clearly shows that passivity coatings don't affect the die sizes as the area works out exactly to the die sizes reported by many sources. The data proves that you are wrong Pete. No other way to explain how the mobile die (without this material) is 81 mm^2, or about 10 mm^2 smaller than the die used in the Celeron 220 (with the material).
