Didn’t your wife ever tell you, it’s not how big it is, but what you can do with it?
No.
Time to move on. Show me the same graph, but with raytracing as the primary focus
show it running resident evil village or warzone with RT
one can be explained the other is a mystery

What are you're thoughts?
This largely shows the problem of the traditional rasterization techniques that have been used in the last decades are suffering badly from diminishing returns. Transitioning to ray-tracing will allow great advances in efficiency as we move away for making every more complex hacks and tricks built on top of each other. , all requiring more and more transistors to support.

A linear decay matters not if being offset by an exponential increase in transistor count.

What’s the performance measured it?
Is the performance clock speed per transistor?
Or is the graph showing the “performance” per (clock speed x transistor)
In which case, wouldn’t the number get smaller, because while the performance is increasing, the number of transistors is increasing at a much larger rate, and will have a larger impact on the calculation.
Eg
Performance
___________
Core clock x transistors

The numbers are using the performance TPU has in their database along with other architecture details

It's not about individual games, but both you mentioned have very minimal use of RT.
Isn't a big factor to this is the sub optimised games because of the last Gen consoles requiring so much time, effort and money to get working which left little room for pc ports to truly stretch their legs.
With the room to develop with the new Gen consoles, and with reports already stating developers are having a much easier time to develop a game for the new Gen, that means time, effort and money is more efficiently used and in theory, room to spare for the pc port.
We should see something come out of this generation since the new consoles are very powerful

Thoughts?
Not a surprise to anyone that's built their own PC over the years, and mirrors what's happening in CPUs. Physics is a bitch.
Additional performance in GPUs is largely coming from cramming more and more transistors into increasingly power hungry, massive cards.
I can't find the picture any more, but when I swapped my 970 for a 2070, I had to snap it. Absolutely insane the size difference.
Four of the five are or were top-end cards. Notice the increasingly massive cooling solutions.

And cpus are going the same way with cooling needs
Not really, ivybridge was nuts and that was 4 cores.
We now can get 16 cores on the desktop which is understandable but at the same time, it's not that much hotter then ivybridge
I did think that
