Question

1) Nvidia’s Volta GV100 GPU reportedly contains 21 billion transistors. Assume the die contains the same number of transistors on each axis X and Y; it doesn’t but it makes the calculations easier! If each transistor was 7 cm x 14 cm approximately how big would the die be? (x meters by x meters) 1) Nvidia’s Volta GV100 GPU reportedly contains 21 billion transistors. Assume the die contains the same number of transistors on each axis X and Y; it doesn’t but it makes the calculations easier! If each transistor was 7 cm x 14 cm approximately how big would the die be? (x meters by x meters)

Explanation / Answer

area of 21 billion transistors of area 7 X 14

= 21 X 1000000000 X 7 X 14 cm2

= 21 X 100000 X 7 X 14 m2

This is the total area of the die. Dimension on each side will be the square root.

that turns out to be 14375.73 m

So the die is 14735m by 14375 m
