In fact, the 3070 is significantly more power efficient than the 1070 is. Because while yes power is up 50%, performance is up 100%. So performance per watt has continued to improve even as power consumption has also increased.
The reality of power consumption is that it's the main lever to pull right now to deliver generational gains. It's the same lever Apple pulled for the M2 even.
> more and more cloud moving into arm have not been enough of wake up calls.
You mean the ARM enterprise SoCs that use just as much power as x86 does to deliver on average worse performance?
