Several of my contacts there (marketing, development, etc) have risen through the ranks over the years I have been talking to them so I don't know where you gotyour info from.

what do you guys think how fermi will scale cpu wise?
will it need as much cpu power as a 295 to max out, less, more?
As you increase the performance of a GPU, the CPU naturally needs to be faster to feed it information at a quick pace. However, as these GPUs quickly outpace game development, the CPU will continue to be a bottleneck all the way into high instances of AA. Luckily, it seems like DX11 has moved less emphasis off of the CPU which bodes well for the future.


and how tdp/temp limited will it be when overclocking it?
This really depends on how good of a heatsink NVIDIA sticks on it. I have a feeling though that the combination of 8-pin / 6 pin power connectors and the PCI-E 2.0 slot will be able to provide more power than even an overclocked GF100 can ask. Naturally, when you get into areas like voltage tweaks the consumption of any component will skyrocket.
