heard that NVIDIA's upcoming GT300 GPU is codenamed Fermi, it's named after Enrico Fermi, best known for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor.
The chip supports GDDR5 memory, has billions of transistors and it should be bigger and faster than Radeon HD 5870. The GX2 dual version of card is also in the pipes. It's well worth noting that this is the biggest architectural change since G80 times as Nvidia wanted to add a lot of instructions for better parallel computing.
