Paul, interesting suggestion. Sounds like a very realistic scenario.... How unprecedented would such a re-layout be?

Interestingly, PowerPC 750 on the same IBM process (.25u, 5 metal layer) has 6.35 million transistors and a die size of 67mm^2, whereas the K6 has 8.8 million transistors and a die size of 68mm^2. Looks like the K6 is much more aggressive in terms of transistor density.

PS Here's an amusing page for anyone interested: seems the human brain draws about 20 watts versus about 43 for the PII 300mhz. :)
