If I remember correctly the P4 die is 134mm^2, and expected about 100mm^2 for the 90nm prescott...
and gone fishin- first, the cache is a cool spot, and second- its impossible to simulate the hot spots because we don't know where they are or just how hot they are. To accurately simulate a die that well would probably blow away even BillAs $20k simulator cost
I think 10x10 is pretty good; larger than a t-bred but smaller than a P4, and probably very close to 90nm prescott/athlon64
