So it's better than the more expensive 4070 (embarrassing for Nvidia) and worse than the previous gen 6800 XT (embarrassing for AMD). WTF is this gen?

Even $50 off the price would make this GPU a clear winner and basically blow out everything up to the $600 price point. AMD just hates winning I guess.
I think some MBA types at both companies are starting the process to turn PC gaming into a new-car sales model.
It’s where flagship smartphones have been going for a while now.
The 7800xt is fairly smaller than the 6800xt. The 7800xt is a 60CU gpu(ontop of being on a smaller fab), while the 6800xt is a 72CU gpu. (346mm^2 vs 520mm^2 )
Its part of the reason why AMD wanted to sit on stock, as they want the 6800xt on the market to deplete before the 7800xt rolled in.
This gen is Xbox Series S gen.
