If GF100 is as strong as expected:
6GB GDDR5 might not be enough for Tesla-model and it's scientific calculations. Games just can't utilize full potential of GPUs.
Some single-G200 quadros already have 4GB vram for a reason ;).

According to this..the codename would be GF100. GPU would have over 3B transistors.
Second one replacing Geforce 9600 cards? Not likely since it won't perform anywhere near 9600-level.
Weakeast of the 9600-cards is this 9600 GSO 512 (if we exlude GDDR2-version from Asus).
It has 48SP like GT220..and higher clocks (4% on core, 18% on shaders). So far so good, but real...
Well newest Fuad farce:

He's saying how Nvidia's new 40nm mobile GPUs would be DX10.1 + support GDDR5.
..but one day earlier it was reported that these mobile GPUs would be DX10 (as anyone should have already known) + GDDR3...

Well I would want to believe..but
I know that UMC's 40nm doesn't seem to have those same problems as TSMC's and UMC is ready for mass production..so they could be ideal canditate to build G300 GPUs initially. Because of the price point...
Intel could squeeze 64 Larrabees on 300mm wafer (45nm). For comparison Nvidia squeezed 94 GT200 on 300mm wafer (65nm) and GT200 65nm was 575mm^2
At least on wafers Larrabee looked HUGE
If Larrabee's performance is only at GTX 285 level..then it's huge dissapointment. Basically Nvidia wouldn't even need to release new cards to counter it!
Larrabee is huge and very expensive chip to make. One 300mm wafer could hold only about 64 Larrabees when for comparison one 300mm wafer...
Current gen of Nvidia cards can't do DX10.1..would require new architecture..so:
1) Nvidia's next generation architecture supports DX10.1, but not DX11
2) This is Fud.
