The silicon

Transistors18,600 million
Die size754 mm²
Fabricated byTSMC
Transistor density24.7 million per mm²

Denser than 28% 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.
