Nah, these are for Tesla cards. The Ampere A100 released 4 years ago (2020) had 7000 CUDA cores and came in an 80GB version. Didn't affect the Ampere consumer cards. They were still doing the 8GB and 12GB thing.

Small price to pay for massive leap in performance 😀

Only time will tell. How any such professional card will carry over into gaming (two huge chips and immense VRAM) is a big question, I doubt it will be anything closely (gaming with 2 chips, I doubt it). Also, over the last years with their economic challanges in the main customer base for any such luxury products, if anything I had the impression that updates come even later, practically halving current gen sales, when they still have last gen stock... looking more like, once cards such as the OPs come out, people will finally buy 4090s and 4080s if they get cheaper. At least in my opinion it reads like that, maybe JPR can confirm this (or not since they change their opinion every quarter).

My 4070 can't even match 3080, unless it's a very specific, cherry-picked game, so I wouldn't be worried about that, if worrying is the right word to use. Nvidia doesn't much care about gaming cards right now. The gaming side only gets any scraps left behind by the ravenous AI hounds. From a business pov, one can hardly blame Nvidia for it. Certainly, Nvidia will use any applicable architectural innovations in the gaming GPUs as well, but looking at the 4000 line, especially below the flagship, it's quite clear Nvidia tried to get away with as little as possible to barely reach modest performance targets. That serves to maximise the AI/server silicon manufacturing needs. Alas, it doesn't help AMD still can't really wow anyone with their offerings. If AMD released cards that throughout the line utterly beat Nvidia's cards of equivalent price points, starting from the very top, then Nvidia would need to look at the gaming side seriously again, as Nvidia has got quite a lot of pride and tradition to defend.

Well if you have a billion dollars you can upgrade to this baby! Its for a super computer.
