<how much die space an average chipset takes up?>
It takes nothing for AMD. Same goes for L2 cache SRAMs.
Elmer just generates engles and fudded the water.
AMD uses of-the-shelf SDRAM from Mitsubishi, Motorola,
SEC, etc. The chipset is fabbed in Taiwan's foundries.

Take care,

Depending on the process, number of metal layers, defect density and such, you could expect from 200-400 functional die per wafer.
