300 mm^2 was what I thought was a conservative (tried to err on small side) estimate from the photo of the part held up by Henri. (The package is known to be 40mm square) I agree about the logic scaling. It would be nice to see a Rev G die photo (hello, AMD?) to confirm that as the source of the problem in Brisbane, as well.

Actually the core scales better as this old image suggest: (1) The "Green Barcelona" is a paper cut and paste work which was hanging on a wall. The cores are larger as on the actual die. (2) The Rev. F picture (from PC watch impress?) erroneously includes test circuits within the outline which makes the core relatively smaller. This picture uses the actual QC die and the correctly outlined Rev.F: chip-architect.com The difference is quite visible. Regards, Hans.
