NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 get new (lower) power specs, mysterious 20GB model also mentioned

"There is also an update from @KittyYukko (some may remember him as KittyCorgi) who is aware of the model based on PG139 board, the SKU named 340. This model would fit in between RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 specs by offering 14848 CUDA cores and 20GB of GDDR6X memory."

For a chip that's less than half a 4090, I find the 4070 still consumes too much power.

As going by the naming scheme, I think it would have been better if the  340 SKU would have been the 4090 and the 4090 a 4090Ti since the gap between the 3080 and the rumored 3080Ti seems way too big. On the other hand, this would have meant a memory downgrade to the current gen for the 4090...

I don't think that's unusual. Look at a 6700XT vs 6900XT. Despite the 6700XT having 40 CU vs 6900XT having 80CUs, the TBP of 6700XT is 230 watts vs 300 watts of a 6900XT.
