The silicon

Transistors7,200 million
Die size314 mm²
Process node16 nm
Fabricated byTSMC
Transistor density22.9 million per mm²

Denser than 7% of the 76 cards we have silicon data for. Density is the clearest measure of what a process node bought: a card that gained it without growing the die got its speed from the fab rather than the architecture.
