"so that price might actually be decent"

Bollocks! $200 more for 40% more performance two years later, and you're trying to sell that as "decent"? Sod off. You can buy an entire gaming PC and a monitor for that much money.

Even if it's "only" $1200 it'll be just as much of a joke as the 2080Ti is at that price. If it's a penny more, I literally don't care what downsides there are to the AMD alternatives - I will not be buying Nvidia again until they stop this nonsense.

400W...?! I know this is a Ti-tier card, but Ampere TDP doesn't bode well for laptops, does it...

And I suspect 8nm is cheaper to use now than 10nm was then, but I don't think they're gonna be passing along the savings unless AMD is able to force them to, but that probably still isn't happening this gen.

Triple-slot is no doubt big, but some custom designs coming from Nvidia's AIB partners are rumored to feature 3.5-slot coolers and these will get TGP's well above the 400 W mark. Since these cards are using the 8 nm manufacturing process from Samsung, the power efficiency might prove a bit subpar compared to AMD's Big Navi produced on the TSMC's 7 nm nodes.
