Nvidia reveals the 64-bit Denver core... with a fake die shot

[fellix_bg]

During his introduction speech at Financial Analyst Day 2011, Jen-Hsun Huang revealed an interesting slide to the semiconductor analysts - silicon die of nVidia's first CPU. Without further a due, picture below shows what nVidia presented as Project Denver 64-bit CPU core.

As expected, no die size or manufacturing process were disclosed - given that there is a lot of features subject to change - thus take this slide with a grain of salt.

But look no further for sneaky details on the die-shot. It's a random patchwork from the official GF100 die photo. Wood screws not included.
