Hans Devries arrived at a 300 mm^2 estimate from comparing common elements between the photoshopped die shot and that of Llano whose die size was known.
More recently, at the 2011 ISSCC conference AMD published 3 papers on BD. One was specifically about the module and it quoted 30.9 mm^2 for a single module. Another paper had a complete unadulterated and non-photoshopped die shot, from that one would estimate 285 mm^2 or 297 mm^2 depending on whether AMD considers the VSS gating block as a count in the total module area. Regardless, Hans was pretty close.
