The Cache, GPU, and NPU are all already labeled in the image.
The Secure Enclave is a good one to point out that is in the unlabeled space.
Certainly some non-DDR peripherals are in the unlabeled space, but it would be neat to have a more comprehensively labeled diagram. I wouldn't expect most peripherals to take up so many transistors compared to the processor cores.

They might even put the ethernet controller that shoes up on the Mac mini in there.
