It's been kinda quite recently on the CPU//GPU front... i sense the approach of Bulldozer//Antilles!!
I hope it's soon, just so we see what all the hype was about (Bulldozer), and if it's actually capable in standing in front of Sany Bridge (not even going to mention Ivy Bridge)....
And the 6990, i'm sure this will rock, and power it's way through to first place, until nvidia releases a 580gx2 or something like that... imagine the 6990 at a price tag of ~500? who'd go for it?
