Kash: A VGA core taks about 20K gates plus small ram and RAM DACS it is <5mm2 in core area.

Is a VGA core all that goes in the Timna?

According to this it uses a S3 Savage4 core:

Which you can find here:

One normally would use less gates to be VGA compatible only and use compatibility registers combined with emulation. Simpler, saver and just as fast.
