NVIDIA Turing has 18.9 Billion Transistors
NVIDIA revealed that "Turing," the chip powering its RTX 2080-series has up to 18.9 billion transistors, making it the second biggest chip ever made (after NVIDIA V100). The Turing chip combines three key components, SM cores (CUDA cores), RT cores, and Tensor cores. The CUDA cores (SM cores) offer 14 TFLOPs of compute power; with tensor cores (4x4x4 matrix multiplication) at 110 TFLOPs FP16; and RT cores processing 10 giga-rays per second (10x over the predecessor).

Anyways, only time will tell if they were right counting on the suckers paying 1300$ - without taxes for a card that probably will be a little slower than Titan V, whose performace it's nothing out of ordinary...
I am not buying any cards this generation. I'm a laptop person and I would need to wait until the new year for laptop versions to come out. I'm fine with a laptop 1080 version.
