Does lower bandwidth matter for some softwares or is it compensated by smaller chip structure, more cores, more cache and higher frequency? Only 5 2GB VRAM modules of only GDDR6 have the advantage of limiting TDP, which seems to be smaller than that of a 3080. If overall 4070 is ca. 1.3x as fast as 3080, in particular the lower bandwidth does not matter, doesn't it?
I can't believe they would go with 160 bit for the 4070, that's a big step back in bandwidth. The other issue is that the 4090 looks like it would consume a ton more power then the 4080 and not merely 30watts. That's just not possible imo.
A new leak suggests that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 will operate at a base clock speed of 2,235 MHz. Boost clocks are set at 2,520 MHz and could go as high as 2,750 MHz.
