The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has been benchmarked on 3D Mark Time Spy Extreme and Speed Way. In the former, it puts up a formidable fight against the GeForce RTX 4080, but fails to replicate that in the next test. https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-RX-9070-XT-exceeds-performance-expectations-in-leaked-benchmarks.944452.0.html
The power consumption is a bit surprising though. If the performance is close to 7900XTX (360W) then there would be no improvement in efficiency between the generation? (maybe it's the same size manufacturing process as 7900 then? From ~9700xt I'd expect something around 260W max..

Remember that these synthetic tests don't utilize any fancy software or tensor features like fsr4. And AMD cards have ALWAYS liked a nice undervolt.
@PB:
Maybe the efficiency gains are being offset by all the additional RT h/w necessary to make them competitive there?
