128-bit division unit?

Thanks for a really nice read.

At page 4 you write that "while the divider [...] unit remain at 128-bits" this looks a bit odd since it is 256-bit wide in Ivy Bridge (the throughput was doubled from SNB to IVB for 256-bit SQRTPS and DIVPS instructions for example)

Are you really sure it will be regressed to 128-bit again as in Sandy Bridge?
