I believe a dual Fermi would come soon. One of the reasons why NVIDIA has managed to built quite a number of loyal followers in the past years was their "fastest card on the market" claim. I don't think NVIDIA would want to lose that claim, especially after all the heat Fermi has taken.


For a dual Fermi, they could especially bin for chips that can undervolt, lower the clocks and/or disable some cores (like they did with GTX295). Single Fermi needs to push the power envelop to reclaim the "fastest GPU" title; but NVIDIA will manage a dual Fermi as well, IMHO.
