With its 8GB, the 4060 performs quite poorly when scaling up the resolution. There's a great video by hardware unboxed showing how limiting 8GB are, in 1440p.

I just can't imagine the extra vram making such a difference in performance that it is enough to play in 1440p, let alone on ultra. I have a 6650 XT, which is slightly slower than the targeted 4060 / 7600 and that thing struggles even in 1080p.
Check the video. It clearly shows how performance drops significantly the moment you run out of vram. It doesn't meant the performance will be perfect in 1440p, it means Intel is using that as a competition ground, something the 8GB cards fail at and maybe Intel's GPU isn't great but the 12GB will probably make a difference (and Intel is maybe being quiet at 1080p because they are likely to perform worse).
