Good point, although the impact 7 mm vs 10 mm is a lot bigger than 10 mm vs 12.7 mm. Stilll should have equal conditions for the test.

If I read correctly the small die similator is a 14 mm square block = 196 mm2 area, which is pretty representative for most AMD dualcores Toledo 199 mm2, Windsor 2x512KB 183 mm2, 230 mm2 Windsor 2x1 mb.
