Price / performance of RX 6700 + XT models with ~40 CUs vs PS5 / Series X

I was just thinking that, if RX 6700 / 6700 XT performance is potentially worse than the Series X (52 RDNA 2 CUs) and similar to the PS5 (36 RDNA 2 CUs), would this still be considered a good buy by anyone if the reference model prices are around £400 for the 6700 XT and £300 for the 6700?

I'm sure GPU miners will buy them in bulk, but would gamers still be interested?

When I saw the 6700xt specs I also wondered what would be faster, the 6700xt or an Xbox. Hard to tell, the Xbox has more CU but no doubt the 6700xt will reach higher clock speeds than the Xbox.

plus there is some economy of scale that a desktop gpu can't overcome - desktop gpu will come in 50 different designs and options from various brands and need their own custom cooling solution while the gpu on the Xbox is just a standard processor stuck into a standard chassis with standard cooling that gets duplicated millions of time - the console will always be cheaper, you just hope the pc gpu is so much faster than the console to make up for the price difference- but what if the performance difference isn't big? Is the 6700xt even worth buying?

6700xt will definitely be faster than the PS5 but not sure if it can beat the Xbox

The GPUs will still be faster because of infinity cache, higher clocks and consoles having to share memory with cpu. I woudn't worry if it's a good buy because everyone buying it out instantly says it is.

Can’t really compare price either as consoles are sold at a loss whereas the current GPU market is way overpriced.

I doubt it AMD dont produce enough to call it "bulk" and miners seem to want Nvidia cards.

Performance will be 2080 super and with overclock almost stock 6800/2080ti fe. i can guarantee that.
