    Allegedly, the 5090 would have 32GB and the 5080 16GB, I don’t see much room for the 5060 to have more than 8GB if the 5070 itself has 12GB?

    I would have loved to see the 5080 with 24GB, the 5070 with 16GB and the 5060 with 12GB (at least). And for the 5060 to drop the 128 bit bus…

      They wouldn’t do this because it would undercut their 5090 sales.

        Sales and probably pricing itself. With a gap this large, the price of the 5090 might be more than twice as high as that of the 5080 and people would still buy it.

          If the value proposition continues, and based on the leak it seems like it will, the 5090 would be a better value FPS per dollar than the 5080 and anything below it. The 4090 cost like 40% more than the 4080, but gave 60% better performance. The 5090 looks like it will be well over twice the performance of the 5080, so I’d expect twice the price.

      A 5060 with 8gb will have Intel wringing their hands with glee. Whatever performance gains the ($300-350) 5060 GPU has (and I don’t doubt they’ll be notable) will be choked off by an 8gb framebuffer. They might do a 16gb clamshell like they did with the 4060ti but like you said, where does that leave the 12gb 70 card?
