Not going to lie, performance per watt for the Ampere cards is a bit lame. In theory that's one and a half die shrinks and ~22% is all we got. This decade might see GPUs go the way of CPUs (in terms of yearly perf increases) if this keeps up, and it should, considering the next nodes have even worse theoretical power consumption improvements.
I mean, that's good for AMD, since their resuts were the same-ish with the Radeon VII. I guess that means RDNA was actually a huge step up compared to GCN if these power consumption characteristics are intrinsic to the node.
