The large coolers on the card and the huge amount of power delivery seems to make more sense if this is close to an RX7900XTX or even a bit faster.

Supposed pricing:
It can be both at the same time. It was leaked a while back that the MBA card would have lower TDP targets than the AIB ones. So nothing to stop the higher tier AIB models using 375W compared to maybe 250 - 280 on the MBAs.
My experience of overclocking a 7900XT is that you can get a delta of 20% performance going from -10% power slider at 280W, to max 15% power slider at 370W.
While not applicable to RDNA4, RDNA3 actually overclocks very well. Much better than the 4000 series. So let’s see how RDNA4 does but I suspect those AIBs have a lot of headroom to push an extra 10% - 15% performance than the MBA cards.
Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse Review
Sapphire's Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse is one of the more affordable RX 7900 XT custom designs out there. For $860 you get impressive 4K gaming performance and a triple-slot, triple-fan thermal solution that achieves amazing noise levels with good temperatures. Overclocking worked very well, too.
Edit: your rumoured prices seem to validate this concept.

If this card is 4080 performance and the 5070 outsells it at a higher price with less VRAM, the industry is finished, and consumers will absolutely deserve it.

As long as AMD sells whatever they make,that is what is needed. Nvidia generally out produce AMD,like Intel do,so not surprised they have more sales share.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but FSR4 apparently is looking pretty impressive.... shame it appears to be RDNA4 only at this point though 
I just watched a Coretek video on the 5000 series and boy does that AI generated voice irritate. Almost as much as the utter drivel he was spouting.
He came across as being butthurt the 5090 is $200 more than he predicted, while saying he was still right about the price (not sure how that works). He was upset that the raster numbers looked poor. He also contradicted himself with lamenting the 5070 hasn’t enough VRAM but was pleased at the prices but that the prices showed it wasn’t a great uplift (again not sure how that works). Finished by saying AMD need to sell the 9070 XT at $350 because the 5070 is most likely better.
Genuinely just comes across as annoyed at Nvidia but hating AMD.

Why do you even watch such a channel?
Oh dear with recent performance leaks and this I'm hyped again why why why keep doing this

That pricing rumour and 3D Mark Benchmarks has perked my interest again!

Fsr 4 looking good.

Shame the £ is tanking vs $.
That's no different to RDNA3 though, is it? The 7800 XT launched at $499, with the 7700 XT, 7600 XT and 7600 falling in below.
I'm still sceptical. I find it really difficult to believe that AMD are going to release a card that absolutely thrashes the RTX 5070 (and is likely closer to the 5070 Ti in raster performance) for $80 less than the RTX 5070 FE.
But (genuine question) why not?
All people do is moan and complain about AMD doing late or too expensive launches (see this thread for many examples), as we've pretty much zero solid evidence of anything right now there is potential they know what they're doing and have listened to the past criticism.

Creating this sort of spectrum also allows AMD to effectively cover market segments with the samely-enabled GPU.It can be both at the same time. It was leaked a while back that the MBA card would have lower TDP targets than the AIB ones. So nothing to stop the higher tier AIB models using 375W compared to maybe 250 - 280 on the MBAs.

Also... I'm throwing it out there like I do every generation: software shader unmask on the 9070. Make it happen AMD and buy some goodwill with enthusiasts.
Yeah, part of me now thinks that AMD held off announcing prices because they underestimated how much the 9070 XT can compete. They may have actually had to increase their price estimates 
I jest of course. But if those prices are true we finally have a decent mid range price competition on.
That and the FSR demo improvements show that FSR is competitive with DLSS 3 now and the watch as the Nvidia fans suddenly declare DLSS 3 “not good”.
Frankly I am pleased (not hyped) with the leaks and pricing from both Nvidia and AMD at the upper mid tier segment.
