Negative. Chips are essentially shavings. cubes are; well; cubes. chunks are literally chunks of a whole log of oak (look into barbequing - you can buy a smoker that uses whole wood, chunks, chips, pellets or shavings - each is different in size).
THESE are oak chunks:

BTW. What is negative? I said I assumed the OP meant chips instead of chunks. Am I wrong in knowing what my own assumptions were? I did not say the assumption was fact. But based on normal wood offered at brew supply stores and the fact he said he heard "chunks" leave more tannins than cubes, it didn't seem like a bad assumption that he meant chips instead of chunks. I clearly said chips have more surface area, trying to offer some decent feedback on why they were different. I don't recall saying chunks had higher surface area.
