It's actually even worse. If you look at the core counts, the 4080 12g is a 60 tier card, and the 4080 16gb is a 70 tier card. The 4090 has a much better power to cost ratio.

Same with memory bus. The 3060 Ti, 3070 and 3070 Ti all had a 256-bit bus. Only with the 3060 did it drop to a 192-bit bus.

And the 3060ti has less memory (8 vs 12GB) - for many non-gaming uses (i.e. deep learning/ML) that makes it much less useful.
