Just do the math.
2070 is slower than 2080
2080 is slower than 1080 Ti
2080 Ti has more than double the price of 1080 Ti and it's around 30% faster than 1080 Ti.
TDP is already published.
What further proof ?
Are we talking about games or hashcat? Because for hashcat, many more things are important than TFLOPS. Take a look at the GTX980. It had less cores, but higher clock rate than the GTX 780 Ti, ending up with the same TFLOPS. So, following your logic, same performance under hashcat and a big flop? I guess you know the answer.
A new instruction set, different core design and bigger caches did it for Maxwell.
The TDP includes hundreds of Tensor cores. When they are not being used, TDP will be lower. When they can be used for matrix operations, performance will be higher.
The price is always relative and can be lowered if needed. But: no competition, no price change.
About AMD: The actual Vega already has more TFLOPS than Pascal, and so did the Fury over Maxwell. Didn't help at all. Since generations, AMD has a big heat and power problem under hashcat. In gaming, their clever algorithms keep the GPU cool enough. But with hashcat running all 4096 cores at the same time and blowing >300W Vega doesn't stand a chance against the GTX 1080Ti with less cores.
So, again, we have to sit and wait.
