FUD Zilla claims ATI's dual-GPU Hemlock GPUs will be released in late November. The rumor is that there will be two cards, the Radeon HD 5950 and Radeon HD 5970, and the TDP is expected to be over 300W.
Samples are already out in the wild and, as expected, the TDP is definitely exceeding 300W. Once it launches, this card will finally take over the performance crown from Nvidia's Geforce GTX 295, but there is a big chance that ATI's performance leadership might only last a few weeks, since Nvidia is still planning to launch its Fermi card in 2009.
