Yes, apologies, I play fast and loose with die/package terminology and I should be careful to be more accurate. Anyways, your points are all quite right and Apple has asked for and gotten smaller packages before. I still think the licensing issues trump the package issues and that more relates to Intel absorbing the northbridge onto the die. (That one actually did go on-die not just on-package I think?) It just seems silly to blame an unrelated change that added an on-package IGP for these issues. I mean I know people have an irrational hatred for Intel's IGPs for some reason, but blaming them for the nvidia license dispute issues that are about the northbridge going on-die? I just don't get it.
