Would this be dissimilar to undercutting a competitor? For example Ryzen 3rd gen chips seem to out perform, and undercut the price, of Intel chips with a similar feature set. Maybe brand is a dimension?

Sometimes this happens for a period of time, but in the medium- or long-run, the manufacturer of the superior product will raise prices. Undercutting is just a way of getting attention in the short-term.

The other alternative is that the inferior and more expensive version simply stops being produced.

Wait until tomorrow until you say that, the third party benchmarks aren't out yet. ;)

Brand is certainly a dimension in some cases (see: Apple products) but it's inconsistent per consumer.
