Mas, these are very interesting details. I'm particularly interested in the fact that Haswell has in fact FIVE unique die implementations, built from scalable IP. Haswell is a big jump for them into more of an SOC methodology.

Agree. They've come a long way from what happened with the development of Nehalem. Ever wonder why Intel jumped straight to Westmere for the mainstream dual core parts with no dual core Nehalem ever showing up?

Because Core 2 Duo was so strong. It had a much more simpler approach (no L3-Cache) and was still very very fast.
