Nvidia Pascal GPU has 17 billion transistors

Wholly crap, the chip us huge. To launch a chip so large on a brand new node, that's impressive. But then, the clock speed....the Tesla cards are usually clocked much lower than the consumer cards. So it is very interesting to see such high clocks.

Also, the white paper says the first Tesla will not be a full chip, so those impressive results could be even better with a full chip. Pascal looks like a massive leap.

I believe the architecture is really making a difference here and they are not relying on just the benefits a new node brings.

I have waited a long time for something interesting again in the pc world...things look very promising
