AMD Cuts MSRPs of Radeon RX 6000 Series Graphics Cards
AMD has come up with new MSRPs for its Radeon RX 6000 series RDNA2 graphics cards, in a bid to better compete against NVIDIA's RTX 30-series high-end cards, as the product lifecycles of both companies draw to a close. The new price list was finalized on September 15, and is beginning to take effect in popular online retailers. The latest prices see the top Radeon RX 6950 XT at $949, and the RX 6900 XT $699. The latter offers better value, as it's within 5% of the RX 6950 XT, while being $250 cheaper. The RX 6800 XT drops to $599, which makes it $100 cheaper still than the RX 6900 XT, while being within 5% relative performance. If you can find an RX 6800 (non-XT), its MSRP is set at $549.
MSRP cuts also take effect on performance-segment and mid-range SKUs. The RX 6750 XT is now a $419 SKU, and the RX 6700 XT is just $379. Both cards perform in the league of the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070, making them interesting SKUs to consider. The RX 6650 XT, which replaces the RX 6600 XT from the product stack, is priced at $299. If you can find an RX 6600 XT, it should start around the $239-mark. The entry-level RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 are finally under the $200-mark where they belong, with the RX 6500 XT going for $169, and the RX 6400 at $149. NVIDIA already debuted its RTX 40-series "Ada" graphics cards, but only at the very high-end, with the RTX 4090 expected to go on sale mid-October, at $1,600. AMD's next generation will be unveiled on November 3.

Also, very important to remember, Wikipedia can be edited by anyone.
Secondly and as important. AMD HAD THE CHANCE TO CORRECT THE CHANGES LIKE ANYONE ELSE ON WIKIPEDIA. AND THEY DID NOT.
So for 2 years this was considered fact for millions to see regardless of what people think of Wikipedia. People go for it for information. NOBODY... CHANGED THAT INFORMATION UNTIL AMD'S STATEMENT.
I Stand by my comment. IMHO this is ONLY MARKETSPEAK on AMD's part to make it look better against Ngreedia's wattage that I KNOW is far worse than has been posted.
As state before I am looking at the RX 6800 as -The- potential undervolted card for me.
But do keep the blinders no worries, you do you ;)

Feel free to use archive.org and find a snapshot where the 6800 XT is rated 280W. If the pages weren't changed for 2 years, then it shouldn't be hard to find evidence. At this point, I honestly think you're just misremembering.
edit - doh see our $ just dropped 10c to the USD in a single week ;(
I'm guessing the 7800 will have raster performance somewhere between the 6900XT and the 6950XT but should have similar RT performance as the 6950XT, and the 7800XT should match/outclass the 6950XT overall performance and go for ~1000$.
Optimistically they could theoretically squeeze both 7800 and 7800XT in that 250$ gap, and price the 7900XT in the ~1000$, but I suspect they've learned a thing or two about not cannibalizing previous product lines from Nvidia.Lucky you. Here in Portugal most 6600XTs cost over 400€, which is a bit silly since there are Saphire RX 6700 (non-XT) for less than that. And the Nvidias are even worse (priced even higher from MSRP).
They don't even match the 2080Ti.

The shitshow continues...
The inflation is around 100% since the 2015-2016 period.
I bought back then an R9 380 4 GB (366 sq. mm chip) for around 235 euro, today equivalent RX 6700 XT (335 sq. mm) costs 435 euro.
2 year-old and counting GPUs are charged as if they are something new - but the current lineup is nothing but garbage, garbage, and more garbage.
I vote with my wallet - NO, won't buy any of it!

Regardless of where you are. Do not buy into the BS about "inflation". That is just an excuse for corporations to INCREASE their bottom line even more than the inflation they add it to their overall cost.
We are in hard economic times. Everyone is feeling it.
