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€.

A year ago, I bought a brand-new EVGA hybrid-cooled 3090 Ti for 700 euros. I'm still astonished at how good of a decision it was, especially considering the scarcity of 24GB cards available for a similar price. For pure gaming, many cards perform better, but they mostly come with 12 to 16GB of VRAM.
