The AI firm’s Blackwell chips have had their die sizes revealed, and whereas we already knew the RTX 5090 die dimension was large, we now know simply how colossal is that this new chip.

Few earlier generations haven’t been match into these small, desk-friendly circumstances earlier than, with Nvidia’s personal RTX 4090 not dwelling as much as its personal SFF-Prepared program’s necessities.
