Spokeshave -

Now that you no longer have the power to delete embarrassing posts I have taken you off ignore.

Where are you getting 193mm^2? I have not seen a die size for A64 published yet, and it seems that you are assuming that A64 will be the same size as Opteron. That is not a fair assumption.

I am assuming that Opteron and A64 are the same die. I don't know that for a fact but it seems most likely to me. As they both have the same 1Meg of L2 it would make more sense to just use the same die. The cost of maintaining 2 designs and doing 2 sets of bug fixes, speedpath fixes, transistor revs etc would be too much for a company on a limited budget. With the low volumes expected early on it just wouldn't make sense. The 256K version though probably is a different die.

Could I be wrong? Sure, but that's my guess.
