Ah, you're right, that's 1.2 megapixel for the exterior, and 132 megapixel for the interior.

That's a substantial increase, but it's still the equivalent of about 16 4K screens, which absolutely does not need 150 GPUs!

Edit: No, I was wrong, this entire monstrosity is overengineered to over two gigapixels on the inside, and that's absolutely ridiculous.
