Kepler GPU die sizes were pretty small. Maxwell die sizes on the same process were much larger. (Up to 600mm2.)

Pascal die sizes were pretty small. The Turing die size is much larger on (essentially) the same process.

You’re seeing the power of improving yields as the process matures.

It’s likely that a 7nm chip with the same functionality as this one would cost more for the foreseeable future, so it makes sense to make it this big.

The BW of the infinity fabric is but a fraction of what’s needed for a GPU, so that’s a total non-starter.
