I really hope the 7800XT ends up being faster than that, otherwise it will be a disappointment unless AMD prices it really well.

As for the 4060... yeah, I remember the slides Nvidia provides with the 4060Ti. Therefore, I have zero faith in that one.

It will be interesting to see what AMDs pitch will be to sell the 7800XT. 6800XT can be had for $500 and I somehow doubt AMD will sell the 7800XT for $500. I think lowest would be $600-$650 and against 4070, it would be lets say 13% faster for more power usage while having 4 more GBs of Vram. But it does feel like buying a 6800XT for $500 would be the better buy since you also get 16GB of Vram and both have the same FSR support. 7800XT really only has DP2.1 + AV1 encoding advantages.

Well, there's something like a 30% difference between a 6800XT and a 7900XT, so AMD can't push the 7800XT too much or it will end too close to its bigger sibling to make sense. And let's not forget that the 7900XT has dropped quite a bit in price since it launched, putting AMD into more pressure.

There's also another thing to note. We have the Navi 31 chip oowering the two 7900 cards and we have Navi 33 powering the 7600 (and likely the 7600XT). That leaves us with both the 7800 and 7700 series, but there's only Navi 32 left so, how will AMD do it? Will they use a further cut back Navi 31 for the 7800XT and power the other three with Navi 32 chips? Or will AMD do a simpler approach and launch only two cards, hte 7800XT and 770XT, both powered by Navi 32?

Whatever happens, AMD is going to have a hard time.
