Maybe explanation by Hans here:



I just countered your "greatly increased die area" comment.I didn't say I believe it's double pumped,it's just a possibility.AVX/SSE part is the top left rectangular part of the core.

2,5mb numbers are still rumors, but since the 1,5mb where spot on I guess there is also somewhat true for SB-E.


Btw. drwho if it might be possible can you gives us a hint if there will be 2 or 3 plattforms? Theres is quite a confusion if S2011 really reaches down to the consumer space or if there is a S1356.
