I think it has long been said (rumored, i think some interview also suggestet) that atis next arch will be new one. It is long project always so it has been in developement for long time already.

On the Fermi, I have mixed feelings, its not as bad as hd2900 was. But its not big success either. I would'n buy it, i need value not most high performance card there is. But I hoped for better performance to get hd5850 price down. Maybe i just stick with my old trusty hd3870 for a while still
