It is funny that Microsoft had been peddling "AI PCs" and Apple had been peddling "made for Apple Intelligence" for a while now, when in fact usable models for consumer GPUs are only barely starting to be a thing on extremely high end GPUs like the 3090.

A 3090 is not a extremely high end GPU. Is a consumer GPU launched in 2020, and even in price and compute it's around a mid-range consumer GPU these days.

The high end consumer card from Nvidia is the RTX 5090, and the professional version of the card is the RTX PRO 6000.

A 3090 still costs 1800€. Thats not mid-range by a long shot

The 5070 or 5070ti are mid range. They cost 650/900€.

3090s are no longer produced, that's why new ones are so expensive. At least here, used 3090s are around €650, and a RTX 5070 is around €625.

It's definitely not extremely high end any more, the price is(at least here) the same as the new mid range consumer cards.

I guess the price can vary by location, but €1800 for a 3090 is crazy, that's more than the new price in 2020.
