That was Hans' suggestion. I assume it is that the FP slice almost entirely dominates any new core area requirements.

As I say, it is just an approximate method, but seems to fit with the Brisbane die size claim.

<Re>:Surely you don't think that all of the changes in the new Barcelona core are limited to the extra FP slice...

All the other smaller improvements may contribute another say 5 to 8%
