They[Southbridges] only need to operate at 66 MHz whoop-de-doo, not exactly state of the art.

Wrong again. All southbridges use hublink which runs at 266MHz and the newest use USB2.0 at 480MHz. If you can be 4-7X off on your frequencies you can be equally misinformed on your volumes.

Go ahead and estimate, I don't want to discourage you but you're showing just how easy it is to be wrong.

Petz, Re: "The northbridges are, at most, 20% of the die size of the average CPU. In Intel's case that's about 30mm."

Elmer pointed out one wrong assumption. I'll go ahead and point out another.

Your figure here is off by a factor of two or more - in the positive direction.
