What I was interested in knowing was how many firepros will be needed for this project or the estimated financial benefit of this project.
EDit - It seems around 1000 gpus were required.

It's good that AMD is winning contracts like these which will help its financial position.Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) will harness the AMD FirePro™ S9300 x2 Server GPU, the world’s fastest single-precision GPU accelerator1, to analyze extraordinary amounts of data to help create a new, very detailed 3D map of the largest volume of the Universe ever observed.
