Is it actually reasonable to be comparing the TI pricing rather than original version pricing? Are they skipping a TI release this series or something? If not then the launch version table looks like this:

- 1080 (2016) = $599

- 2080 (2018) = $699

- 3080 (2020) = $699

- 4080 12GB (2022) = $899

- 4080 16GB (2022) = $1199

Doubling the price of the flagship version of the launch product over just 6 years is well, a pretty large jump.

Since you didn't account for inflation: blame inflation.

That's non-sense. I omitted inflation data because the parent post had that for similar numbers and did not list the source used. My attempts gave significantly different numbers, so if I gave inflation adjusted numbers, it would be a misleading comparison vs the numbers in the parent's post.
