Nehalems cores are not much larger. IMC+CSI doesnt take that much space. And cache is 67% of yorkfield. Trust me. Its under 200mm2.
Also Intel would never manufactor a 270mm2+ single die chip today unless it was an Itanium grade.
PCwatch also said it was L3 cache or something earlier and other things. They aint much better.
The biggest Nehalem CPU will be an octo core at 32nm.
