Petz,

It is better to use somewhat officially announced numbers, such as 114mm^2 and 193 mm^2 and ratio 0.59. Which is still consistent with the point DresdenBoy is making.

Petz, Re: Intel contraction: 115mm (theoretical 2M Banias) --> 87mm (Dothan), ratio 0.757

This assumes that Dothan is a simple compaction of Banias with no extra logic. Several reports claim that this is not the case. This data may even suggest that additional logic has been added.
