The silicon

Transistors21,900 million
Die size181 mm²
Process node4 nm
Fabricated byTSMC
Transistor density121 million per mm²

Denser than 83% 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.
