Chuck: Re:These numbers look way too high to me. Also, wouldn't it be easier if you add estimated CuMine-128 die size with i820 die size to get the total die size. Why even bring 740 into the picture? Chuck

A 3D graphics core is no small thing. It does several hundred operations per cycle compared to only a few for a processor (believe me, I know what I am talking about). This is the reason that I guess that the Timna die size will be twice as big as the PIII on the same process. It would be interesting to now the die size of the i810 since this one has integrated 3D graphics.

Has anyone on the thread a clue?

Hans.
