DD is identical for Core2 and Netburst. Complexity is different.

May I suggest another angle to look at it?

Intel built three 300mm-megafabs in its 90nm-node. From a diesize/DD angle one would expect two 65nm-fabs providing the same output. Account for substantial growth you end up with three 65-fabs. In fact, Intel built four. For a reason.
