The silicon

Transistors28,300 million

Fabricated bySamsung
Transistor density45 million per mm²

Denser than 49% 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.
