I'd guess that the performance could be slightly better than the 1080 scaled by cores/MHz/FLOPS. The reason being that the memory bandwidth is higher on the 2080, and that's hard to model unless the person knows exactly how efficient the kernel is and if it's memory bound.

Plus the architecture improvements. Do we know how many cores per SM? They’ve decoupled int and FP execution units which could give larger increases for certain kernels (although FP heavy deep learning kernels aren’t likely to benefit as much, they will still get address calculation benefits).

I hadn't seen the whitepaper on Turing yet. Where did you see they decoupled them?
