    Die Size: 975X vs P/G965

    The Intel 975X chipset seems to be absolutely dwarfed by the newer P/G965 chipset. Here are a couple of pictures showing what I mean. Maybe the chipset used on the Asus P5B (965) is a G965 chipset with the onboard graphics disabled. One thing is for certain, this is the biggest Intel chipset die that I have ever seen. [975X is from a P5W DH, P/G965 is froma P5B]

    indeed..
    but i believe that's because all current 965 chips have that gfx engine inside.
    here's a comparison, p4 northwood vs 965
