What is the physical size of the 5Ds sensor?

[AcutancePhotography]

The 5D3 has a sensor that measures 35.8x23.9mm

Will the 5DS have the same physical sized sensor?

The Canon site only states that it is
"Approx. 36 mm x 24mm (35mm Full-frame)"

To speculate, it's the same package as I expect an awful of internal dimensions are set to accommodate it. The interface to the board may well be different though. Canon could create a different size, but if they're tooled for one size now I don't think they'd change it unless they were going to stay with it for the future.

Call that like CR 0.01 or so.

This is just speculation on my part, but according to the B&H specs, the actual resolution is 53MP but the effective imaging area can only deliver a maximum resolution of 50.6MP. So the physical sensor could be at least a few tenths of a mm larger in each dimension, but the available imaging area is probably slightly smaller than 36mm x 24mm.
