Double the bandwidth, double the ram, double the pins, and double the power isn't cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if the profit on the 4090 was less than the 4080, especially since any R&D costs will be spread over significantly less units.

There have been numerous reports over the years that the 4090 actually outsold the 4080.

The 4080 was also quite the bad value compared to the much better 4090. That remains to be seen for the 5000 series.

The 4080 was designed as a strawman card expressly to drive sales towards the 4090. So this is by design.
