Some Amperecards are truly impressing on efficiency, most notibly 3060ti and 3070 which are far superior to 2060S and 2070 (25-30% more perf pr watt). The rest however were only marginally more efficient (5-10%) than previous gen. GDDR6X is the reason for this on 3070ti and up, 3050 and 3060 seems to scale poorly efficiencywise when BW/cores are reduced.

The node itself cannot be blamed since it is almost twice as dense as previous node on Turing (TSMC 12nm vs Samsung 8nm):
Tech Node name (MTr/mm²)
TSMC 5nm EUV 171.3
TSMC 7nm+ EUV 115.8
Intel 10nm 100.8
TSMC 7nm Mobile 96.5
Samsung 7nm EUV 95.3
TSMC 7nm HPC 66.7
Samsung 8nm 61.2
TSMC 10nm 60.3
Samsung 10nm 51.8
Intel 14nm 43.5
GF 12nm 36.7
TSMC 12nm 33.8
Samsung/GF 14nm 32.5
TSMC 16nm 28.2
Going for Lovelace the nodeshrink can be even greater than Turing to Ampere depending on what Nvidia goes for (TSMC 6 or 5nm?). Mranwhile AMD has had a huge advantage over Turing (TSMC 7nm hpc) on RDNA1 and slight advantage over Ampere (still TSMC 7nm hpc).
It's the power consumption of the VRAM that hurts the top tier ampere cards - that GDDR6X is power hungreh
