If we are speculating, I'm gonna guess that Shimano will be releasing 7950 C24 CL's (new decals, 20g lighter, $1300 MSRP).

They are very very good wheels, from all the reviews I have read on them. And I have read quite a bit.
I screwed up trying to game the Dollar/Sterling exchange rate and waited too long.
They are still $700 at CRC albeit they are OOS at the moment.
FWIW, I think these are the best factory built wheels in their class (lower profile clinchers) and they blow away the standard Mavic variant.
But, the 7850 hubs are still inferior to options like DT Swiss 240s, even with stock bearings, IMO.
