There was no die shrink necessary to make that. Sure. Cooling will be a problem, but it always is with the GX2 cards. It's not like Nvidia has to even engineer a new card. They just need to stick two cards together and put them on a single PCIe slot. Nvidia is going to take back their lead no later than spring 2009 and a GX2 card is precisely how they are going to win it back.
How do you propose dissipating +450w of heat with a dual slot cooler?
The limit for current dual slot coolers is obviously right around a 250w TDP.
