AMD Ontario APU pictured,die size ~77mm^2

Imho that die shot looks like its one of the lower layers, cause you dont see any logic at all.

Even if it was fully synthesised, you at least would see some L1 cache blocks, but you dont.

I have doubted this before, cuz the core-part is looked like a cache.
But when I go over the preview of Ontario APU being held in June, found that the die-size on the wafer is nearly the same as today's clear die image, about 75mm^2.

So if this nowaday die-shot is Photoshoped, I guess it has used some cache blocks image to cover the core-logic. Although I seriously think whether there is any reason to do so.
