So..Should AMD announce the 9070 XT event now to capitalize on the huge 5080 $1K disappointment?

The RTX 5080 reviews are in, and they’re overwhelmingly underwhelming. The several Leaked benchmarks suggest the 9070 XT will be slightly faster than the 4080 and only %8-10% slower than the 5080. If AMD announces it now, they could frame it as a high-end competitor, making its price easier to swallow compared to the 5080 rather than the upcoming $750 5070 Ti. I Wonder If AMD might have significantly overestimated Blackwell performance and are regretting the name change. Wouldn't skipping ahead give them a stronger position, or would it somehow backfire.
