Not that lower if you go beyond the MSRP which most people won't see in stock. Industry insiders are reporting ABI prices for the Radeon 7900 XTX on the shelf to be $100 higher than MSRP, while Nvidia is reportedly lowering the 4080 price by 100$ to meet them in that same $1,100 price-point.
So in the end 7900XTX and 4080 are "the same performance for the same price" if you restrict yourself only to rasterization performance as your only metric and ignore the current bugs the AMD cards have and the extra ML/DL features Nvidia cards offer.
They're still both $1,100 GPUs, far beyond what most gamers are willing to spend on a not-the-highest-end GPU, which makes me think they'll still not sell, as the whales are still going for the $1,600 4090 which is selling like hot cakes while the value chasing gamers are waiting for something much cheaper or buying cards one or two generations older at steeper discounts.
