CeBIT 2007 - G86 die size revealed by accurate stickering?

MSI, in their keenness to hide the fact they have G86 on their stand, may have inadvertently given a big clue as to the GPU's die size. Wandering back past the boards today to get a closer look, we noticed that the stickers they've employed seem to closely match the size of the die they obscure.

Armed with a reference point in the shape of the PCI Express x16 edge connector, it seems that G86 is 11.5x10mm, or thereabouts depending on how poor our photography (and investigation into slot sizes) is. Back of a napkin calculations in a crappy CeBIT campus 'restaurant' for the win?
