I'm not convinced. We'll all find out when it's released though.

I imagine NV will want to release a dual GPU card to counter.
Nvidia has already indicated that there will be a dual GPU version of the GT300.

But how do you cool 6B full speed transistors in 2 slots of space?
Number of transistors is not what determines heat output, that would be the TDP, which will be similar to the GTX285, so that really won't be much of an issue.
The fastest single card halo could go either way, imo.
Nvidia won't let that happen, and based on performance of the 5870, and knowing the specs of GT300, I believe it is pretty clear the 380 will be faster, which nvidia has already confirmed.
