If NVIDIA feels the need to gimp the upcoming RTX 3060, that suggests that the new CMP cards will not be attractive enough to compete on their own price/merit, or that they will be similarly supply constrained. That said, I'm curious to see how they perform for machine learning.

Of course they won't compete on their own price/merit.

This will be like Quadro: Same chip, a couple of feature flags flipped, then sold at several times the price to price-insensitive market segments.

Nvidia have noticed miners will pay $1000 for an MSRP $500 card, and they want to take a cut without alienating the gaming market too much.

Sounds like merit is is high, since people are happy to pay double what the gamers pay.
