NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 2060 revival with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory will have the same CUDA core count as the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER.

The GeForce RTX 2060 (12 GB) is said to feature 2,176 cores and a 1,650 MHz boost clock just like the SUPER model but differ in a few areas such as memory bandwidth and thermal design power.

On one hand, it wouldn't be the first time a GPU vendor has used the previous generation in lieu of lower tier newer generation.

On the other... the fact that they are gearing this up while at the same time cut Ampere production to "keep the market from crashing" while it was no where near saturation... I'm sure the share holders loved it.
