Their processors are bigger because of their inclusive cache design which means more memory and more memory means bigger processors...
Indeed. Unless they can find a way to make that amount of cache smaller without taking it off the cpu die then CPU's will be fairly large. I think though per square mm i7 is more efficient than most if not all cpu's with a few exceptions.
