One more interesting part is the die size which Charlie lists as ~240mm^2. Roughly the half of this is GPU portion. If FX Next is based on PD with no L3 (like leaked slide suggests),then we can expect similar die size for 4CU/8T part( 240-250mm^2). If clock and IPC actually do go up by 15-20% (combined #) and die area goes down by ~30% this would considerably up the performance/mm^2 ratio number versus today's FX (1.15*1.3=~1.5x or 50% better perf./mm^2).
