I would cut them some slack given that the 5090 and 4090 are built on essentially the same node, but the last time they did it the 980TI had a 50% performance jump from the 780TI while being on the exact same 28nm process. Even if they went for the cheaper and more mature node they could give some of the cost cut to the consumer and give some real discount but why would they do that when there is no competition

They did that for every tier except for the 90 tier because people are already paying well over 2k for a 4090 for whatever reason

Does giving 5080 the same pricing as 4080 Super really count as passing the savings to the consumers when its only 15% better though

15% more performance for same price is a good deal.

A bad deal would be a decrease in performance/dollar.

depends how we name our points. to me a decrease falls under the no deal tier.

so a bad deal is between 1 percent improvement and somewhere under the usual 30 to 50%.

15 percent is not a good deal. it is a normal deal. we get that nowadays after you account for the price increase.

I think we can agree that what is "good" can be subjective.

yea and that changes with time too. in a few gens we might look back at this and laugh at either how good we had it or how underwhelming blackwell is.
