The MI300X is a massive chiplet-based GPU accelerator utilizing 8 GPU compute dies (GCDs) on TSMC's 5nm process, stacked on top of 4 I/O dies on TSMC's 6nm process. This chiplet approach significantly improves manufacturing yield compared to a monolithic die of the same total area, while bringing the total transistor count to a staggering 153 billion. Note: Die area represents estimated combined active logic.
