The "it's only a die shrink" people remind me of the movie "Life of Brian" about the Romans.
"Deneb is just a shrink. Well okay they did add some cache. Oh yeah and they also increased it to 48-way instead of 32-way. And yes they also probably optimized some of the routines in the processor. And changed cool and quiet for efficiency. Perhaps they tweaked the HT. And perhaps they worked on things we don't know about. But other than those minor things it's just a shrink so what can we expect."
