According to the numbers you linked:

3080 desktop vs 3080 mobile--- 17535.5/12100= 45% difference (MaxQ will be larger)
2080 Super desktop vs 2080 super mobile--- 11450/10313= 11% difference

"Going back" was referring to Nvidia marketing that the mobile solutions were almost as good as the PC variant until now. In essence consumers will be burned buying a 3080 laptop ending up with MaxQ 3080 that is substantially slower than a desktop 3080.

A recent WAN show goes through it starting at 18:20. They claim MaxQ 74% slower and go on about how Nvidia has marketed themselves into a corner surrounded by even more pissed off customers.
