Major refresh means what nowadays? 7 instead of 4 percent gains compared to the previous generation?

The article speculates a 5% gain for the 4080 super but a 22% gain for the 4070 super which makes sense because the base 4070 was really disappointing compared to the 3070.

Will the price be the same or up to 22% more expensive?

You’ll pay 30% more for the honor of owning a 4 series

For anything ML related, having the additional memory is worth the investment, as it allows for larger models.

That said, at these prices it raises the question if it is more sensible to just throw money at GCP or AWS for their GPU node time.
