If nVidia can ever figure out how to design chips at 40nm so that they actually work when they come out of the factory, they can sell a product...until then ATI is going to be planning exactly how they are going to spoil the launch day. If you read any sort of news about the GPU industry you would have sold your stock in nVidia desktop graphics by now...I'd suggest getting out before it's too late
So what exactly is the TDP of the high end Fermi based GeForce? And what about 3D performance? Because without that information you can not logically make the claims you are trying to assert.

Im not saying Fermi can not beat ATI's cards, but hell... nobody knows what Fermi will be like ATM.
OpenCL implementation on ATI is garbage. Talk to any programmer who has done work with ATI and OpenCL and Nvidia CUDA. CUDA is much more straightforward and intuitive and supported, and better performing as well (more direct access to the GPU). And it's about to get a lot better with Fermi. Plus Fermi has ECC which will be the deciding factor for any organizations and institutions who are serious about GPGPU.
