my area estimate for a single SIMD core including tmu's is ~16mm2 and the area of the gpu core in bobcat is ~30mm2. 160sp or 80sp is what i would be guessing, preferably 160.

it will be interesting to see if they go for 80sp but go for 8 tmu's and 4 rops. i think that will be more likely.
that would be epic ...
