You mention the 50% improvement from AMD that, and I can't stress this enough, is just their target goal that they may achieve it or not, we won't know until launch. But aren't you forgetting that Ampere will also bring performance improvements? Don't you remember the rumors from earlier this year that talked about a 40% improvement?

AMD won't be the only one to improve here, and during the last gens we've seen how the newer xx70 card performed like the xx80Ti from the previous gen (970 ∼ 780Ti, 1070 ∼ 980Ti and the 2070 failed that because of the focus in Ray Tracing, tho the Super variant matched the performance of the 1080Ti).

If that pattern follows again this gen, and even wif it ends having ith the same shader/core count as the rumor from yesterday, the 3080 will be much faster than the 2080Ti thanks to the improvements of the new architecture and the jump to 7nm, that will allow it to clock much higher.

Don't worry, I didn't forget it - in fact,I hope NVidia does good on those improvements. But my fear was more fueled by the TGP of 350W for the 3090, which simply doesn't sound like the performance per watt improvement is really that big unless the clock speed also went up quite a bit.

Those rumors with the 350W figure also mention the use of GDDR6X and, as has been said in this thread several times, that type of memory hasn't been announced yet. Who's going to make them a memory that hasn't been designed yet?

I'd use a grain of salt with that rumor, starting with the name. All the xx90 cards were dual GPU parts and the -Ti suffix has brand value. While it's not impossible, 'm having a hard time believeing that they'll change all that without a good reason.
