So your position is that a GPU from 2015 does not have architectural advantages over a GPU from 2005?

Not enough to off set performance gains.  The 4050 has art advantages over the 3090 and it means literally nothing.  The 3090 is a closer match to the 4090 than the 4050.  

So yeah, 100%.  Frankly that isn't my position, it is a cold hard fact.  

I would argue the 2070 super is still a better card than the 4050. Architecture gains are used for more power and sometimes smart features, which you can calculate in a lot of tests. If the card has less performance than another card in those tests it's worse.

The difference in architecture doesn't mean much of you do not utilise the power of those cards. Better upscaling with DLSS 3 does help the 4050 though. Although keeping it locked to the 40 series might also be a marketing strategy since FSR is a lot more backwards compatible.
