Re: "Extrapolating from your guesses, if the logic part of a cumine and xeon is the same and takes up X amount of space, then logic + memory on
cumine = x + x/3 = 4/3(x)
xeon = x + 4x = 5x
So, if your guess is right, we would expect a xeon die to be 4X the size of a cumine die. (That SRAM cell must be one large mutha!) Is there any place to get these sizes?"

Yes, you could buy one and crack it open.... Other than that I don't know where.

I will guess that the 256K L2 SRAM on Coppermine (in .18um groundrules) is around 20mm2 The cell size is probably about 5.5um2.
