A good point. Still, that point does not disqualify that a new bar has been set and it will bleed to lower parts of the stack. Ampere was already fat, Ada went for the full brick.The progress is in the performance per watt department, total performance is absolutely irrelevant in that sense. You could push the cards to use that amount of power for a long time, it's just that there was no reason to, couldn't gain any performance, now they can get gains so they do. The only people that benefit are the consumers, you don't have to wait two more years for that performance in a two slot card.
And I do agree, 30% improvement on perf/w is impressive, but then that also confirms how shitty Samsung was.
