“More” does not always mean “better”: higher power draw or size is a system requirement, not an advantage (such bars are dimmed).

Questions and answers
Which is faster: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU?
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 leads in every scenario with comparable benchmarks: rendering and compute. This does not imply an advantage in tasks without benchmarks.
