Where they should fall is... The replacement cards should be anywhere from 10-25% faster than their predecessors if we go by the Radeon 6600 > 7600 and 6900 > 7900 examples.
This generation is not a generation leap.
The 7900GRE is an outlier though.
The Radeon RX 580GME was exactly the same performance as the RX 580.
The RX560D sat between the Radeon RX 550X and 560. Aka RX 555?
The RX 470D sat between the RX 460 and RX 470, but was definitely closer to the RX 470.
So whilst AMD has released chinese optimized parts in the past, they haven't fallen anywhere consistently in terms of AMD's product stack, it's basically whatever cost-effective die-harvesting AMD can get to sell in a more price-sensitive market.
So the 7900GRE would make a brilliant 7800XT, but I wouldn't be surprised if the 7800XT was actually similar or even faster.
