Geekbench Leak Suggests NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Nearly 20% Faster than RTX 3060

Where did you get the 20% faster? In actual Vulkan bench which more closely resembles gaming load it is only 12% faster and we know Geenbench is a shitty benchmark anyways!

My informed guess is that its probably 10-14% faster on average at 1080p and actually loses to the 3060 12GB at 1440p and 4k.
 
Over at Videocardz they are reporting up to 18% faster which doesn't mean a lot until we see a suite of games getting benched (hopefully here on TPU).

My impression so far is that the RTX 4060 will be a fail but I want to see the review to be sure one way or another.

I mean the 4060 ti is a fail at a hundred dollars more. I can't see how the 4060 vanilla is going to redeem a product that already is horrible. Maybe if it has been released at like $229 the 4060 may have been alright. 4070 should live at the no higher than $400 level.
 
despite the usual reservations this effectively negates the RX 7600, it will handily trounce it in RT and provide the superior upscaling implementation, DLSS, to boot. you also need to take the price of tsmcs n5 process into consideration.
I feel the only benefit for Nvidia is DLSS, which is critical for lower end cards. RT, you can forget about it, unless you don't mind dropping all other visual qualities just for the sake of RT. And while I understand that TSMC 5nm is not cheap, but the target market segment is in the first place very price sensitive. If you are bumping prices up, will the performance uplift be worth it. Sure it can be up to 20% faster than a RTX 3060 12GB, but the lack of VRAM is already a problem now. So you will surely see the RTX 3060 12GB edging out the 4060 in new game titles.

every legitimate source would disagree with you. DLSS is only beneficial when you get to high frame rates. If a card can't process textures it only amplifies the issues. It can't fix them. Every reliable source has agreed with this including Digital Foundry.
 
And memory is at a premium in terms of manufacturing cost.
No its not??? There was an article here recently stating that 8GB of gddr6 costs like 30 bucks. And it makes sense, prices of RAM/SSDs have plummeted recently, 1TB gen3 SSDs goes for 50$ and 64GB of ddr5 200$.
