That is very interesting. It would be nice to see reviews investigating it - also the reasons why that is.
Because at stock settings, both the 3080 and 3070 are operating at the peak of performance/power curve
By reducing the power consumption of 3080 from 320W --> 220W, performance reduction is around 10-15% at most, meaning the 3080 at 220W still perform better than stock 3070. You can do it to the 3070 too but the efficiency gain by lowering the power limit is not as much as with the 3080.
If you look at the 2080 Super Max-Q reviews, you will see that at the same TDP of 80W, the 2080 Super Max-Q outperform all slower GPUs, even though the desktop 2080 Super has terrible perf/watt.
