What is the die size of Prescott?

A simple google search of "prescott die size" returns a bunch of hits. Size estimates range fro 80 - 109mm2. I'd be inclined to believe the high side.

If this is correct and if Intel has world class yields, their Prescott die cost will be a little over $5 before any shrinks. Meanwhile AMD could have lower performance and a die cost above $50. Not a good competitive position.
