      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.

      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.
