Found an interesting post here, take it with a pinch of salt... Link
G80 specs (to be named 8800GTX)
* 65nm Architecture
* SM4.0 with the bundled unified shaders
* DirectX 10 support
* 48 Unified Shader Units
* 950mhz Core Speed
* GDDR4 @ 1.9Ghz
* 512bit Mem Controller
* 512MB (controller will be able to handle up to 1Gb over 8 modules)
* Quad SLI Support
* Under Windows Vista, G80 may have Physics Processing capabilities
* Predicted 3DMark06 Score (based on a 4800+ X2): 9500 - 10000
Release Date: Expected Around Early November (near PS3 Launch)
G90 specs (to be named 9800GTX)
* 55nm Architecture
* Native Support for Dual-core Alternative Cards (Dual-Core G90)
* Over 1 Ghz Core Speed
* 64 Unified Shader Units
* GDDR4 XDR2 @ over 2Ghz
* Quad SLI Support
* May have a dedicated PPU on Board
* Predicted 3DMark06 Score for a Single Core G90 (based on a 4800+ X2): 14000 - 16000
Release Date: Expected Mid 2007
Those potential scores are just well... sick. And while this of course may only be speculation, those results and specs sure do look realistic for a next-gen part. Note the possiblity of dedicated PPU on the G90, now THATS what im talking about, an integrated PPU solution without the need for an extra card... none of this seperate Ageia crap that is currently polluting the market with it's sheer uselessness and silly price.
