FYI as I don't think it's been posted elsewhere—the D0 stepping seems to be almost a 33% reduction in die space (see my tweet with more info and a pic, I didn't find a place to upload it for easy embed).
That's certainly a good improvement, I wonder if this is the start of maybe making more Pi-specific chips instead of taking other designs and punching holes in parts the Pi doesn't use? Would be nice, because maybe it would convince Broadcom to spend a bit more time on the SBC-centric things like memory controller and PCIe/IO stuff that might not matter as much for other customers![:)]( "Smile")
