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...

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?
