No, let's do talk about it. The 1070ti had 95% the shaders/cuda cores of the 1080, but this "4080" doesn't even have 80% the cores of the full 16GB model. I'd expect this wouldn't even measure up to the traditional 70 model. It appears that they're also limiting the 12GB model to only 75% the bus width (192 vs 256bit), and that marginal clock difference is unlikely to do much to make up for either large performance gap.
I guess relative cost position matters a lot more than model numbers, but it would be nice if there was some more transparency rather than less.
