If they're not willing to make changes to the memory implementation on the 5060 this doesn't seem that unreasonable tbh. 10-12 with all else being equal on the 5060 would be nice, of course, but $X and 8GB is probably a better market fit than $X+40ish (?) and 16GB.

But that also might be a slightly too convenient way to justify not just tweaking the memory configuration to be a better fit for >8GB but <16GB, so idk lol. I don't keep up as closely with low level details anymore (e.g., what memory chips are commonly available right now), so it's hard for me to crucify or defend the choice to avoid a memory config change with much conviction.
