Approximately 590M max? (10^.5 * 1e6 / 130)^2

But not actually sure what % is usable and what distance between features is. So guess is actual number is a lot less than that.

Ten million transistors maximum actually. The nm figure is not a transistor pitch.
To put that into perspective, 10M is roughly the complexity of a Pentium II/III (without the cache).
Thanks! Reading up on "transistor pitch" filled in a lot of blanks for me.
