Not sure if this is in the know already, but a local tech tuber spilled the beans that 3000 series reviews are coming out on the 14th.
 
Someone on Reddit that works for FedEx in the US posted this image, Considering Facebooks VR event is coming up this could be the new Quest 2.

Found a research article (article is talking about the research, link is in article though) talking about the problems of thermodynamics in microchips. Basically how it's economically wasteful of natural resources (like water) to cool microchips.

It's a new way of cooling down chips. By making microchannels underneath the die/substrate over the hot areas of say a CPU and allowing water to flow directly over those areas. Initial research has shown 50x greater efficiency which reduces the need for massive water cooling setups in data centers or super computers.

More efficient cooling means less waste of consumer AIOs(you can use smaller ones for same affect) which means less materials used from coolant to nickel, etc. And then obviously for the aforementioned data centers.

Silicone is very bad at transfering heat. That is why Intel sanded 10900K die. The more substrate you bypass the better cooling effect.
 
If this is true it's looking quite promising for the 3080 being on average 24% faster than the 2080 Ti especially with it's £649 price tag.

Firestrike graphics score of 42,000 against a 2080 Ti's score of 34,000, The 2080 Ti score lines up with a stock 2080 Ti so here's hoping.

As pointed out to me that isn't what it says. Apparently the 2080Ti is 24% slower. So, by maffs that makes the 3080 around 32% faster with a 28% TDP increase.
