Kash,
It shouldn't be too hard to approximate the Dixon die size.
The Pentium II w/o cache is 131mm2
The Celeron A w/128k cache is 154mm2
The 128k takes up 23mm2 of real estate but that 23mm2 has a cache controller in it I think. Subtract that out of the 23mm2 and add the result on top of the 154mm2 and that should be close to the Dixon, everything else being equal.
If the cache controller is say 10mm2 then the Dixon should be somewhere around 167mm2 but maybe someone can give a better approximation of the controller size...
Jim
