Lets do some very ROUGH math: The 40 core ICL die is 628 mm2 (according to Wikichip). The delidded SPR “tile” has been estimated to be 370mm2, and (in one of SPR configurations) there are four of them for a total of 1480mm2. 1480/628 is approx 2.35. 40 x 2.35 is 94 cores!! Of course the SPR core is bigger than ICL, but perhaps that‘s balanced by the uncore size of SPR, which is most likely not 2.35 that of ICL given that SPR is rumored to still be 8 DDR5 channels.
If the leaks are to be believed, SPR has the potential to match the rumored 96 cores of Genoa.
