Now that refreshes have become a thing with both AMD and Nvidia, has anyone done the analysis on whether or not - flagship (cough) aside - it's better to go from new range to new range or from refreshed range to refreshed range? Since the 'super' designation goes back to Nvidia's 20 series and AMD's XT and xx50 designations also go a way back, how about if you were skipping a generation?

Is it better to buy refresh to refresh or de novo?
Supers seems to be a way to make things right for Nvidia, xx50 still a response tool for AMD.
20's GPU's were overpriced and sales down. Supers needed to create excitement.
30's generally good separation so no Super variants launched.
40's GPU's were located on greed points and didn't work well.
Every gen: Initial release (unless a bad generation release like RTX 20 or RTX 40)
Skipping gens: xx80ti usually good option 1080ti/2080ti both last pretty well and 3080ti still holding well. However I can't see any 4080ti coming for a 2080ti owner as AD102 chips are as precious as diamonds now
It's pretty much depends on needs overtime and what market is actually offering.
