In the UK there are currently two RTX 2080's on sale new for £650. Vega Vii is likely to launch higher than that.
UK prices haven't simply been just dollar conversion plus VAT for some time now. We wait to see.

OC3D has a post, Same or better than a 2080 at $100 less.

AMD need to be very careful with their UK pricing then.

It not a tough call...

RTX 2080 large 12nm 545mm2 chip has 215W TDP while Radeon VII small 7nm 315mm2 has 295W TDP.
RTX 2080 with tensor and RT cores on 12nm is far more energy efficient than Radeon VII on 7nm.
Imagine RTX 2080 on 7nm would have 150W or less TDP.

I would have hoped for better performance from a node shrink.

I must have blinked didn't see that come on stream.

The 2080ti is to expensive to care about and we don't really know whats going to happen on the ray-tracing front yet. So far it's not been very impressive, but Nvidia's way isn't the only way of doing it. Rendering rays the normal way, Vega with it's compute power is already very quick.
Competing with the 2080 but with double (and faster) memory for the same price is a good spot tbh. Though 650 is still to expensive for a GPU, any GPU.

But at least there is future potential. Here there is none and it performs the same as 2080.

IMO real world performance of this in some titles will match or exceed the 2080Ti / Titan. Namely ones which either do or can lean very heavily on compute based rendering.
Vega 64 is pretty much neck and neck with a 2080 in PubG & Blackout once you fix the voltages, which both do the above. Also doubt it'll be behind in iDTech.
Also, remember that is the tangent NVIDIA sponsored games are taking now, since the 20xx series cards finally caught up with AMD on compute based rendering, and left their own old cards in the dust.
If some samples can really OC from stock 1.8Ghz to 2.4Ghz, there's going to be a huge secondary market for high clocking samples. Performance ought to be higher than anything else out there.
Let's hope they have serious volume ... though I fear, again, HBM2 / interposers will limit supply. If they do, then NVIDIA have no choice but to make large price cuts.

Not bad, not bad at all.
101%? 1% faster than RTX 2080?
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-vii.c3358
Radeon VII is 3% faster than RTX 2070 and 14% slower than RTX 2080. Hmmmm

It's a shame they didn't show results for those. The above I posted is all they did show for games. No DX 12 either.
Certainly, I’d still imagine more people will jump for the equivalent Nvidia due to RTX capabilities. I wonder if AMD have anything similar up their sleeves?

As soon as I saw the 16GB HBM I knew it was going to be expensive. I was kind of expecting it to be more power efficient given the node shrink as well.
I won't be upgrading from my Vega 64 to this at that price point. I get the feeling more content creators are going to buy this than gamers.

60CUs. It is a salvage part of the Vega20 Instinct. 300w with performance between 1080 and 1080ti.
Expect limited supply. Likely street price higher than 2080.
There won't be a 8GB model since it would have half the bandwidth.
The fact that Navi wasn't mentioned is a bad sign IMO. I expect the 7nm process is not mature enough yet. Would explain a salvage part from AMD and Nvidia going with 12nm

This graphics card is not released yet.
Data on this page may change in the future.

The slide performance must be a best case scenario which is 1 fps ahead of 2080.
