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.
I'm talking based upon the points neliz made. He said that a single Fermi's TDP would be 300w. Now you could take a stripped Fermi part and downclock it even further maybe like you said to make a dual Fermi, but it would still have a TDP of 300w and it would be SLI.

So a dual part drawing the same power as the single GPU part, and with SLI would probably mean being actually slower than the single GPU part. I don't get how a dual Fermi is going to be made if a single Fermi draws 300w
