And as already said there are different types of transisors w/ different specs and size.

IIRC Llano contains 1B T.

AMD also works with macro blocks containing specific logic circuits. These might cause a little bit less efficient placement while being size optimized in itself.

It's official now. AMD contacted AT:

This is a bit unusual. I got an email from AMD PR this week asking me to correct the Bulldozer transistor count in our Sandy Bridge E review. The incorrect number, provided to me (and other reviewers) by AMD PR around 3 months ago was 2 billion transistors. The actual transistor count for Bulldozer is apparently 1.2 billion transistors...
