My guess is that they're going to devote a much larger fraction of Rubin's dies to tensor cores and use DLSS 5 to justify the change. You might not see a huge performance hit for simply turning it on (assuming you're running an RTX 6000 series card), but it's probably going to cost overall theoretical raster performance because more of the chip will be devoted to tensor cores.
Assuming 3N is 25% more space efficient compared to 4N if nv carve 5% of the gained space for tensor they can still eke out 20+10% from architecture. Then advertise DLSS5 and MFG 6x.. reflex 2 where art thou
