My guess is $1999 for FE cards. Especially if the performance jump is true.
Of course the entire pricing model regarding nvidia cards is outrageous, but is this such a ridiculous prediction?
You can get the follow up to 7800x3d in Q1 25. I say go ahead and get the 7800x3d and then in 14 months or so, Sell the 7800x3d and grab the 9000 series x3d.
