Makes no sense. When was the last time a GPU was built with a higher number of raster units that texture units?There are 288 ROPs and 94 TMUs
Never.
Nice try. On the 28nm process node at TSMC's transistor density that equates to ~ 650mm² - 670mm² die....that exceeds TSMC's maximum die size of 625mm²Also, the core count is 3584
The other alternatives are that:
1. Your "friend" is having you on
2. It's a wish list for a 16nm FinFET successor to GK110 rather than a 28nm Maxwell replacement for GK 104. In which case I'd say your friend is full of it since AFAIK the next large Nvidia GPU has only recently (last few weeks) been taped out on 28nm.
