[SOLVED] Why new rtx 3000 series has lower tensor cores than old rtx 2080 ti ?. Even rtx 3090 will have lower tensor cores than 2080 ti.

Tensor cores have proven to boost rendering operation like 3d application software by reducing rendering time. Specially in blender which used cuda as default feature but in rtx card using optix has proven to performance boost.

The RT and Tensor cores have been redesigned. They are a lot more powerful than the ones in RTX 20 cards.

and this is from the RTX 3080 review:

Tensor TFLOPS FP16 (Sparsity)	119 (238)( RTX 3080 FE)	89 (RTX 2080 Ti FE)	85 (RTX 2080 FE)
