<s>[INST] How has the number of transistors in GPUs increased over the years since the first commercial GPU? [/INST] The number of transistors in GPUs has increased dramatically since the first commercial GPU. The first commercial GPU, the GeForce 256, was introduced by Nvidia in 1999 and had roughly 9 million transistors.

Since then, the number of transistors in GPUs has increased rapidly, driven by advancements in manufacturing technology and demand for increased performance. By 2005, GPUs had already surpassed the 100 million transistor mark, and by 2012, some GPUs had over 3 billion transistors.

As of 2023 January, the most advanced GPU (Nvidia's H100) contains over 80 billion transistors, and this trend is expected to continue as manufacturers strive to create even more powerful GPUs with greater performance and capabilities. The increasing number of transistors allows for improved performance, such as faster processing speeds, more advanced graphics capabilities, and improved energy efficiency </s>
