It's been done rather silently, but NVIDIA partners are actively injecting a new SKU, the GeForce RTX 3060 8GB. From the look of things, this might be an answer to some intel GPUx.

The GeForce RTX 3060 8 GB is a variation of the RTX 3060 with a third of its memory size and memory bus width removed, initially this was 12 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit wide memory bus, resulting in 360 GB/s of memory bandwidth at the reference speed of 15 Gbps (GDDR6-effective). The new model has the same 15 Gbps data rate and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory spread across a smaller 128-bit memory interface, for a total memory bandwidth of 240 GB/s. The only changes NVIDIA made to the configuration for the RTX 3060 8 GB were to the memory size, bus width, and bandwidth, nothing else. There are still 3584 shader processors, 112 Tensor cores, 28 RT cores, 112 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The GPU has the same base speed of 1320 MHz and boost speed of 1777 MHz as the original RTX 3060.
