Not if you get higher yields on the 12-core, since only 5 out of 6 modules = 83% need to work.

How would they route the cache traffic between the five L3 blocks? I doubt that 5-module photoshop is a feasible design. It at least would need more space for the crossbar than the 4-module design. Your numbers don't look likely to me.
