you might be a little off on the expectations. if we can get 480SPs on Llano at 32nm, then at the next step, 22nm, (or is it 24? idk...) we can expect 50% more, with maybe 10% more clock rate at the same power. so its 800SPs if were lucky, and clocking probably 1ghz, sounds like an OCed 5770, or maybe up to a 5830. the next one will probably be well within reach of a 5870 though. so that means <1 year till this, and then 2 years for each node after, so just under 5 years away and u can have a 5870 with probably an 8 core BD chip under 100W.

kinda scary what laptops and nettops will be able to do in 5 years.
