We've learned that the massive GT200 chip is going to get smaller. Nvidia has been working on a 55nm versuion of the chip for a while, and we wrote about this on several occasions.
Nvidia is currently finalizing the clocks on the chip and it is waiting to see the final performance of R700. Nvidia's chip is likely to be slightly faster than ATI's dual chip offering, but we suspect that the performance will be quite close.
Nvidia is certainly not giving up without a fight, as Nvidia's entire marketing was based on the fact that Nvidia was a performance leader. Nvidia simply cannot let the crown slip out of its hands and that is why Nvidia works so hard to maintain its performance dominance.
ATI has never been so close, but this is good, as Nvidia will get its focus back and it will make the world a better place.
