True but the die size has also grown. So it not a 1:1 comparison.
An impressive feat for sure but it is just using brute force to increase performance nowadays.

GTX 1080: 42.81 mm^2 per billion transistors. 41.53 mm^2 per TFLOP. 0.97 billion transistors per TFLOP.
RTX 3080: 15.55 mm^2 per billion transistors. 33.17 mm^2 per TFLOP. 2.13 billion transistors per TFLOP.
They scale well for transistors against die size, and TFLOP against die size, but terribly in transistors per TFLOP? That can't be right.
Checking https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-3080-ti.c3... I now see it says "Based on speculation / placeholder", which makes me think it's all just totally made up, and not reliable evidence to declare the death of Moore just yet.
I could design you a chip that is nothing but FP32 multipliers and adders that has, theoretically, a ridiculous TFLOPS per mm^2, but it would be next to useless in any real workload.
