From the upper bound $\sqrt{2}n$ on the edge length of the smallest regular simplex containing the unit cube in $\mathbb{R}^n$, shortly outlined in the question Smallest regular simplex containing the unit cube in $R^n$, it follows that roughly $n^n2^{n/2}$ unit simplices are sufficient to cover the unit cube by translation.
