Remember that the 156mm^2 is a superficial number. These guys measured the chip carrier dimension, not the die size. (the "real" die is protected inside the ceramic carrier). Usually there is a (sometimes quite large) safe area around the border of the carrier. People may also not count the pad area on the die. Die size of the GPU probably is in the <120mm^2 range (unless they really risk it).
