Even if they have a compelling offering (which is a big if), it will likely be $30 - $50 cheaper (at most) than comparable Nvidia SKUs.
No way will they take a hit on margins, especially when the real money is in corporate GPUs.
I guess once my 2080 croaks I’ll need to find a new hobby. I can’t justify spending double my monthly income on a “mid range” videocard. Not in the least because I need to eat and heat my home.

This might not be what you want to hear, but console gaming. For the price of a GPU you can get a console and load up on games.
A PS5 Pro costs like 800€ and is significantly slower, more restricted, and can’t be upgraded without shelling out a similar (and rising) amount of money for another console.
