From my understanding and what ive seen around forums GPU's have been multicore for a long time they just dont get utilized(??) in the same fashion a mutlicore CPU does.
As for how long untill the new ATI cards are out, at a guess id say 6 to 8 months though im sure someone else around here may have a more definate answer for you.

Nope and guesing is bad, Nvidia have had 2 GPU's on 1 card before, unoffical cards by Asus and Gigabyte.
well you learn something everyday
i only enquire because with the 9800 series coming out early next year i wondered if ati were also releasing something
i dont really want to buy a new mobo so i can go sli but also didnt want to blow money on a card which would be supersceded (spelling?) in less than 6 months

I upgrade every 1.5-2yrs. Just upgraded this last wk from:
AMD Athlon64 3700+
ASUS A8N-e
Corsair 1GB DDR RAM
ATi x1800 XT
to:
Intel Q6600 G0
ASUS P5K Premium
Corsair 4GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia 8800 (GT or GTS (revised, still to decide on this))
That build will last me another 1.5-2yrs before I upgrade again. I red a review on the ATi cards and my person opinion was that they are not better than the nVidia ones at present. You can read an extensive review here:
