I don't know, what you want to say here ... seems to me,
that you want to play the old Jerry style speak like
DIE size DIE size ... Thats an important fact and we have
to take care about the development, but with the fact that
AMD is much much more demand constraint then factory
(capacity) constrained, it seems to me not a big issue.
Again, I would like to see a smaller DIE for the A64, which
will come now with 90nm NC step (85mm^2), which is way
smaller than the prescott!
So, lets make a comparison with equivalent process tech-
nolgy. Do you still want to say, that AMD's 90nm design
is much more expensive than that what Intel is now producing
and will produce, when they switch to 2MB cores?
