A100 is nvidia's ML card in this lineup - and it has a much saltier premium. The 3090 will probably stay at a premium due to a few factors - I don't think ML performance plays into this at all though: DLSS - There's a reason AMD cites "raster performance" since with DLSS enabled the 3090 has a major advantage. AMD-specific optimizations - near the end of the presentation AMD disclosed that with all the optimizations on (including their proprietary cpu->gpu optimizations, only available on the latest gen cpus)- they could pass 3090's raster performance in some games. I think for these two reasons, and the fact nvidia can't seem to get cards to vendors (and customers), there won't be a price drop on this SKU. They may however release a watered down version as a 3080ti and compete there.
