[or 270, whatever it is called]
we see GT260 SLi doing very well against the 4870x2
They may be able to rework the chip some going into the die shrink to make 280 possible. Although even if they used 260's they would probably still call it GTX280 GX2.
When the 8800GTX came out people did not think a GX2 would show up and then the 9800 GX2 popped out.
i was the
only guy at B3D - for months - that believed [believes] that a GX2 Tesla will show up; no worries, they are coming around to my PoV.
However, a 280x2 is impossible at even 55 nm. 260 is barely possible and i think they will just call it GTx2
Nvidia will do whatever it takes to regain the performance crown.
But then AMD will be looking at HD4550x3 and their own further shrink:Q
