The nVidia 4070 Ti - 4080, costing 1000-1300 €, are not mid-range, they're upper-range.
Not the highest range, but it's still upper-range.
4060 - 4070 are mid-range... and 3050 is low-range (since there's no 4050).
The benchmarks shown DO NOT show the 9070 XT 2 tiers below with ray tracing ON in CyberPunk. It still remains between the 4070 Ti and the 4080 just like rasterization

Does it matter tho? Honestly?
How much you wanna bet it's going to be +/- $50 of within Nvidia's card pricing?
Remember, AMD never fails to disappoint when it comes to missing opportunities.
They will launch it at some absurd price like $600. Then 6 months later when it doesn't sell due to them not having the same brand loyalty recognition drop it to $399.
It will then start to sell well. But damage is done. People will just continue to forever associate a negative perception with them due to initial launch being poorly executed.
What annoys me more isn't even this. It's the behaviour in the dgpu comments section. The constant hopium and copium expectations that next gen will be different.
Let me repeat: The dgpu sector has had zero competition for the last 10(+) year. It is dead. Move on.
