Surprisingly good AMD news reported on FUD:
http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/item/20934-cayman/antilles-slides-leaked
A forum member at 3Dcenter has posted what appears to be a legit Cayman/Antilles spec slide and several additional slides have appeared on a Polish tech site. All slides pretty much confirm what we already knew, but there are some new figures and surprises as well.

Cayman should pack 1920 stream processors in 30 SIMD engines, which proves that it’s a 4D architecture as expected. Computational power in single precision is estimated at 3 TFLOPs and the card boasts 96 TMUs, 32 ROPs and a memory bandwidth of 160GB/s. It will pack 2GB of 256-bit memory.

The Antilles features two Cayman GPUs and has a total of 3840 stream processors, 4GB of memory and a bandwidth of 307.2GB/s. The TDP for the Antilles is 300W, which doesn’t sound too bad considering the spec. Interestingly, the board won't feature native HDMI output, as it will pack two DVIs and three mini-Displayport outs.

You can check out the slides here and here.

AND.....

Dual GTX580 called GTX595 and pics
http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/item/20941-nvidias-new-dual-gpu-card-pixellized

Chinese site enet.com.cn managed to score a picture of what appears to be the new Nvidia dual-GPU card. According to the post, the new dual-GPU card features two GF110 GPUs and has been referred to as the GTX 595.

Of course, the picture shows a reference design PCB of the prototype so something might change until this one shows its face in retail/e-tail. As for now, we are looking at a single PCB design with a total of 3GB of memory (1.5GB per GPU). The card needs two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors and has a single SLI connector if someone decides to pair up two of these babies. Another detail is the placing of three DVI ports at the back, which means that it might have support for 3DVision Surround.

Unfortunately, it is still too early to talk about precise specifications as it would be purely speculative, but we guess that more info will show up pretty soon.

Don't shoot the messenger! :D

Well AMD are doing one hell of a job of misdirection if these widely rumored specs are not true.

I don't know about that ever since ATI got bought out by AMD and were integrated into the AMD graphics division there new owners have always kept a tight lid things as far as specs and performance goes, the 5870's release performance came as a surprise to many.
 
Its also been pointed out that right now the 6990 seems to have theoretical 1.5tflops of double precision output, the same amount Kepler(Nvidia's next gen) is aiming for which isn't due till the end of next year. That made me chuckle a bit.

Am I also not wrong in thinking a previous "dual Fermi" pcb pictures had leaked ages ago, I think theres been a potential 2x460gtx pcb picture leaked, but also maybe a dual gf100 pcb leaked like months and months ago, can anyone find it, is it identical to the "new pictures"?

If it's a single GPU with that output form Nvidia, it's doing well to come out the same year as AMD's top dual GPU card and match it.

Previous gen, its not abnormal for generations to double in performance, meaning next year Nvidia's top dog gpu will have 1.5tflop DP performance, and no ability to make a duallie card of it, and AMD will likely have a 1.5tflop single card, and 3tflop dual card next gen also.
