Not sure how accurate this is but these are the "alleged" details for the upcoming 4070:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 specs and $599 pricing confirmed, 186W average gaming power - VideoCardz.com

NVIDIA claims GeForce RTX 4070 consumes 186W on average in gaming A few days ago, we revealed the final retail price of the GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, the fourth Ada Lovelace desktop graphics card. Today we have ‘official’ confirmation. In case there was any doubt on what GPU might RTX 4070 use...

Didn't realise the card was coming on the 13th...I really need to start doing more reading!

There's a good video by Coreteks on it here, he goes into competing products at the same price point:

Note the 6900XT from AMD is around the same price NEW, and absolutely destroys the 4070 from a hardware perspective.

Basically, 4070 vs 6900XT is 3080 vs 3090, more or less. More, I'll take the higher VRAM cap over maybe better RT that needs backing up with DLSS every time... especially if cheaper and given it's looking like more VRAM will be a necessity for more games far sooner than RT/DLSS will be implemented across that range. Imho another mis-step for Nvidia, this... not that it'll do them any wrong in the long run.

I'm very much in the same camp. And while it's clear AMD are not as good as Nvidia with RT and DLSS, they are closing the gap.

We saw a similar thing with freesync Vs gsync where freesynv became just as good as.

I have high hopes AMD will close this gap further with FSR3 due soon.
