Digital Foundry's initial analysis mostly bears this claim out.

They found FPS increases of between 160-190% for a bunch of recent games featuring both RTX/traditional rendering, and about a fixed 190% in Quake RTX (which is exclusively RTX rendering).

Those titles were all cherry-picked by Nvidia though. I would be very hesitant about the data used. A lot of DLSS used too - so, not even true 4K.

On top of that - if you only care about 4K gaming then fine - but what if you're more of a 1080-1440p with higher refresh rate person?

Personally, I have a 1440p display that goes to 144hz. I'd much rather have 1440p @ 100+ FPS than 4K at 60 - but we don't know what these new GPUs will do.

The small text also said DLSS iirc, so non-dlss games and machine learning loads probably aren't 2x.

He was trying to sell it as double the RTX, double the tensor cores and double the general raster capability.

Guess the benchmarks will show us.

The 3070 has 20 classic shading module TFLOPs. The 2080ti was 13.5 TFLOPs. I think you’ll see 50% better performance at the minimum.
