GT212
40nm process technology
<300 mm^2
<1.8 billion transistors
384 SPs
96 TMUs
32 ROPs
256bit Memory Interface
GDDR5
Release date ~ Q2/09
Some other notes:
-32 Sps per cluster.
-12 Clusters resulting in 96 TMUs
-To retain the 32ROPs, 64bit channel memory controllers per 8 ROPs.
-No ALU changes. No DX10.1
-Smaller die, and maybe shorter PCB length due to the decrease in complexity of the PCB thanks to the 256bit bus.

IMHO, this specification sounds reasonable. Using GDDR5 rated at 1250MHz, it would result in a bandwidth of 160GB/s. Im guessing that its shader domain is clocked at > 1.5GHz effectively making it 60% faster than the GTX285.
