This is definitely a PR thing. The 4060 Ti was universally panned, as was the 4060. They aren't seeding units to reviewers this time around because they know that 90% of the review is going to be pointing out that the extra 8GB of ram doesn't help a card with the same memory bandwidth as a GTX 780.

I think this is the context I was missing. I haven't followed hardware developments closely enough to know that the 4060 series had a history of poor price/performance, or to extrapolate that to the likely implications here. Thanks for catching me up.
