NVIDIA launches GeForce RTX 40 SUPER series: $999 RTX 4080S, $799 RTX 4070 TiS and $599 RTX 4070S

And even the prices were correct.

That should push the prices down across the top of the stack both for AMD and NVidia. I'm expecting $850 for the 7900XTX and $700 for the 7900XT within a couple months or even weeks, and maybe a slight price drop again for the 7800XT.

AMD Ryzen 8000G Zen4 APU series launch January 31, Ryzen 7 8700G competes with desktop GeForce GTX 1650 in gaming

I have a hard time believing that it will be as fast as a 1650 when 780M was slower than a 1650 mobile in independent tests. But we will see.

Keep in mind this one will have more TDP, so it can clock higher, or more precisely, hold that higher clock speed much better. Plus, bandwidth is still the biggest limiter, so with fast RAM like DDR5-7600 there should be a big improvement over the DDR5-4800 of the 780M.

Edit: As for the 7600XT, I think it's somewhat overpriced - but that is due to the price of the 7600 being too high in the first place, that one should be more like $230 and the XT version around $270. At that point AMD would have a great lineup for budget-conscious buyers, but not with these prices.

At least AMD isn't overcharging nearly as much for 8GB VRAM than the 4060Ti and added some higher clocks to boot...
