NVIDIA RTX 5090: GPU chips surpass previous sizes

Nvidia's RTX 5090 features a GB202 GPU with a size of 744 square millimeters (24 millimeters x 31 millimeters), while the entire package measures 3528 square millimeters (64 millimeters x 56 millimeters). ‌It's important to note that the package size includes not only the chip itself but also capacitors, resistors, and other structural materials, which somewhat limits its significance.‌ Nevertheless, the RTX 5090 is poised to become the consumer-grade GPU with the largest chip size on the market since 2018. According to leaked information, the Turing architecture maintains its dominance in terms of chip size, as the TU102 (RTX 2080 Ti) GPU chip is only 10 square millimeters larger than the GB202.

The RTX 5090 from Nvidia is undoubtedly a GPU with exceptional performance, largely attributed to its massive GB202 chip that powers it. As revealed by MEGAsizeGPU, this chip boasts an impressive size of 744 square millimeters. Compared to the AD102 GPU in the RTX 4090, the RTX 5090's chip size has increased by a significant 22%. Such a substantial increase in size is likely to result in a price hike, impacting both Nvidia's production costs and the final purchase price for consumers‌.
