Sure the trend is down. However Nvidia's is designing the cards to be cheaper and have less bandwidth, while charging a significant premium over the previous generation (1.7x or so). The cancelled lower end 4080 has less memory width then the previous gen low end 3060 Ti. So the RTX 4080 TFLOPs are higher, but require you to be more cache friendly then the previous gen.
