Only Raja would fuck up an opportunity this hard. When Nvidia released their 2000 series GPUs for crazy prices with no games that had Ray Tracing for months and DLSS was shat, Raja could have released an AMD GPU that focused on raster for a reasonable price. Instead Vega 7 released for $700 with broken drivers, performed worse than 1080 Ti which you could have gotten for $400-$500 at the time and got shrekt by a 2080 all while the 2080 was more power efficient, offered Ray Tracing and DLSS... GCN's last swan song was such a big joke that it made Turing feel like a good value and boy did Turing age like Fine Wine compared to Vega/RDNA 1.

Now Raja is at Intel and he's goofing shit up there. Like if GPUs all go back to their MSRP by the time Arc gets released, who the heck is gonna buy Intel? Arc is on TSMC's 7nm so it certainly isn't going to be cheap. Even if Arc has 3070 Ti performance, unless the price is $100-$150 lower, there's zero reason to get one as a 3070 Ti will give you a proven platform. And when Lovelace comes out, it will get rekt by a 4060.
