If its true, I could just imagine having to use a 800W psu for a single card. Maybe I'll buy one. I would be able to cook hotdogs. It would save me from having to leave my desk.
Well it's funny the who OP saying "our relationship with nvidia is stronger than most companies." trying to explain the CPU issues, but to me that explains why they wouldn't be as critical of this as even their own forum users are.
As ever I'll wait for something official, since before every launch we get ungodly tales of Bungholiomarks, only to have reality paint a different true picture.

i've been meaning to mention this... I love red green, i actually painted a red green work bench that's lasted several years and has traveled over several states.. it's burried currently, I sent it into the show YEARS BACK when it was still in production... you may have seen it if they aired it... anyway... on the subject... indeed. this is likely crap and definitely not final. i could Gimp something more believable. (ps: for those of you in the dark Gimp is an 'image editor', it is used similarly to the phrase "photoshop" only it's free and not gay :-p)

I dont think that sounds too far fetched and should offer some nice results with the added SP's and higher frequencies. 55nm to keep cooler and give OC headroom (45nm would be real nice!) and 384bit bus to make better use of the added tech.
Seems very feasible to me...
