I’m aware, but right now I could purchase a 7900 XT for a bit less than 699€, including 19% VAT - meaning the price before tax is closer to 566€.
Right now there are some leaks suggesting the RX 9070 XT will be sold for $499 - or 476€. After adding 19% VAT it would be 566€ - or 130€ cheaper than the average 7900 XT:
If the card also performs worse than the 7900 XT, I don’t think it has great value.
Compute power seems to be the same, disregarding any architecture changes. If they manage to pull off equal performance at a lower price and lower power envelope, it’ll actually be quite something.

Hopefully, because something like 10% lower performance at 20% lower price is nothing to be excited about imo.
It’d make a good card if it matched the 7900 XT and a great one if it beat it.
