So as predicted, the only reason Radeon would panic cut it's launch MSRP of $300 to $270 is because the 4060 performs the same or is faster. Since techspot is just hardware unboxed in website form, it's clear that the 4060 is indeed "faster" but more like it's about the same performance as a 7600 which makes the 7600 a pointless product unless we see big discounts.
With the 4060 you get:
Competitive Raster performance
Lower power draw
DLSS 2 & 3 + FSR support
Nvidia's Reflex
Historically longer driver support
Better Ray Tracing performance
Wider range of application support
VSR
With 7600 you get:
Competitive Raster performance
Higher power draw
Inferior FSR 2 upscaling with no FSR 3 in sight
No Reflex
Historically worse driver support
Worse Ray Tracing
etc
Now the thing with Ray Tracing is that while yes, that is 100% not the primary reason to buy either the 4060 or 7600 or even a 4060 Ti, that doesn't mean you can't turn on Ray Tracing in some games. You can see here that there's plenty of Ray Tracing games at 1080p that almost makes 60fps. Turn it down a notch or two and Ray Tracing at say medium is still better looking than SSR at Ultra. Hell some games you can enjoy Ray Tracing to it's max settings at 1080p like Spiderman Remastered.

Personally I wouldn't buy either until 7600 goes down to $200 and 4060 goes down to $250 since you can get a 6700XT with 12GB of vram for $320 which makes the 4060 a pointless product at it's price range even if the 6700XT uses 70% more power for 16% more performance according to techpowerup but 12GB of vram does make it a lot more future proof.
