Ummm... R700 is due out in July/Aug.
Nvidia will need 45/40nm to even think about doing a GX2 and that won't happen for them until sometime in '09.

So it uses the similar magic / hardware / software to the 3870X2 :p
As far as I know which things might have changed in the last ~20hours but when I went to bed last night, nothing was "confirmed" about R700.
We are not 100% sure that black cooler is R700, not 100% sure about a PLX2.0 chip, nor 100% sure about it being the same as 3870x2.(AMD/ATi made a statement saying it was NOT going to be two RV770 on a PCB like the R680 was)

Now if you have a source verifying any of that please post it.
