That 2 chips connected together maybe a la M1 ultra or an other technic to combine 2 die together (2x104B), look how much bigger it is :

H100 to B100 It is more in some 80B->104B range, they have a revised new TSMC 4NP node vs their previous special TSMC 4N node, but not some new TSMC 3nm branded one, the giant gain seen are more from architecture-software-networking change for task that do not take advantage of them it is more normal ones , I am not sure if they will use something like that and make giant chips for the gaming section (we can assume not, if they do it it will be 2 small die together to have really high yield not to make some monster 1200mm (2x600) gaming chip).
I am not sure how much of a clue they give if we assume Nvidia go for that node on the desktop part, this could be the worst node update in a while, Ampere gained 82% in density, Lovelace was a ridiculous 278%, going from TSMC 4 to TSMC 4 this time around could be 30%.
Could be a massive architecture change too, they have the R&D budget and had a long time, since mid 2020 at the very least, being working on it.
Lots of good points !
