NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti to Feature 21 Gbps GDDR6X Memory
NVIDIA's upcoming flagship graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti (also known as RTX 3090 SUPER in some rumor circles); could feature the company's fastest memory solution for GeForce, according to a Uniko's Hardware report. The card maxes out not just the 384-bit bus width of the "GA102" silicon, but also uses Micron-sourced "MT61K512M32KPA-21U" GDDR6X memory chips, which are rated for 21 Gbps date-rates. This results in a roughly 7.7% increase in memory bandwidth over the RTX 3090, with a whopping 1008 GB/s on tap. The title of the highest memory bandwidth on a client-segment graphics card would still go to the Radeon VII, which uses 4096-bit HBM2 to achieve 1024 GB/s. The RTX 3090 Ti also maxes out the "GA102" silicon, by enabling all 84 streaming multiprocessors (SM).

Hopefully these 3090 Ti are LHR :D
Look at GDDR6 list

Also, comparing pads with different thickness just makes no sense.
the thickness has to vary, if the pads are softer. Softer pads need to be thicker, harder ones thinner. I had a lot of bad performance with some of the harder "better performing" pads because they'd damn well bend the heatsink or push it away preventing proper contact, but a larger softer one to squish into place was fine and gave better temps, despite worse thermal performance
I trust Igor. He may well have found different results by trying other thicknesses, but within the setup he used i'd trust those results
IMO, they are only refreshing the 3000-series (Ampere) to increase said margins for a greater cut of the crypto pie and maybe to have something "new" for OEMs in Q1-2 at the debut of Intel's Arc SKUs.
The RTX 4000-series (Lovelace) and Radeon 7000-series (RDNA 3) are still rumored to be scheduled for Q4 2022.
Burn those bridges and youre also heading to a fast dwindling market share. Todays lower tier buyers are tomorrow's opportunity to have them 'trade up'. The Geforce stack is no longer profitable with only high end chips. Those margins are big because of scale, not because they are cheap or easy to make.

Nvidia want people undecided on which to buy, they get more buys that way
Read on a danish forum earlier this week that a person finally received his RTX 3080 he had pre-ordered since launch so seriously Nvidia should focus on getting cards out ito all the pre-prdered since crypto mining and the demands outside normal computer and gaming doesn't look to stop which doesn't make anyone feel better that nice a new product that feels like a paper launch since only a small group of people outside reviewer can get a card.
They want you confused between the 3060ti and 3070, because if theres a clear winner or clear popular card, you get the 3080 - sold out everywhere. Better to spread the demand out over barely different cards.
Also it's almost impossible to get a Nvidia for a real not fantasy price and if you want AMD go to their own shop you can get lucky getting a reference card for almost MSRP price.
But not a lot of people like the AMD cards even I think the performance is awesome in this generation and you get something for your money.
I can say this because I had 2x RX6800XT cards and now I got a RTX 3090, but sadly I was never able because of availability to get a Sapphire RX 6800/6900 XT Nitro card they are not easy to find in my country and prices ain't good either but I don't regret my trade.
