Yeah 30% faster for 20% less money, when you look at it that way its pretty good, i think its pretty good, even when stacked against the RX 6650XT which is only about £20 cheaper. its faster, its newer, its got AV1 and FSR3 when ever that comes out.
It was meant to be $299, AMD changed it 48 hours before launch, probably because reviewers told them it was too expensive and having been told that by the same people about the 7900XT they dropped the price this time, those people, instead of just saying "Ok fair play" they found a way to complain about that and make it a negative review, again, can't win.
So they might, they might not, there is as you pointed out precedent for it now, but don't count on it, they are not exactly given clear signals at the moment, and they do need that guidance because whatever they do they know it needs to be worth it.
The issue is the RTX4060TI has set such a low bar in the £350~£500 market.
