It seems the 512CC will be reserved for the B1 part, which is currently slated for Q3.

295W is the power consumption of the part with 512CC and 725+Mhz Core (not going to see these for a while, I guess not everyone liked them.)
275W is the power consumption of the A3 part, with 480CC and 725+Mhz Core and 1050Mem i.e. OC GTX480 models
250W is the power consumption of the A3 part, with 480CC and 700Mhz Core and ~950Mem, i.e. GTX480.

So well.. everyone was right.

I also heard that power consumption is still an issue, especially idle power usage. Tomorrow should bring a new driver release as NV engineers are trying to get it down as much as possible.
