    Interesting and the size is quite impressive, now I want to see some numbers.


    Yes, but clearly they're not concerned in regards to Bobcat..they've laid out the various units within the uarch in the previous slides. Being fully synthesised and all, it's not like it means much anyway.
    I do find it odd they've 'covered up' the cores in the full dieshot, but the shapes at least line up perfectly, but at the end of the day, for the purpose of the discussion, it's pretty clear the cores ~5mm2.

    Regarding Llano.. it's clearly going to be considerably faster even IF the uarch has inferior perf/watt to Bobcat, as it's going to operate at much higher frequencies.
    It's a totally different situation, being on GloFo's 32nm SOI process. Bobcat is Synthesised, designed to easily slot into a generic process like TMSC's, Llano is not, and seemingly Bulldozer is not either going by the "photoshopped' dieshots.
