...and 83 mm^2 at 90 nm?

Hmmm, A64 CPU + 512 KB = 83 mm2, Dothan CPU + 2 MB = 87 mm2.

"I guess you should be surprised to see a 118 mm^2 core (paris) at 130 nm?"

I guess I was a little conservative with my 130mm^2 guess.

OTOH, according to Keith, AMD has been talking about 102mm^2 for 90nm, 512k chips...

Dear Yourbankruptcy:

If you really look at the Opteron price declines, they are just moving up a bin. You can now get an 248 for the old price of a 246 and so forth.
