Did the 2000 series double performance from the 1000 series?

Did the 3000 series double performance from the 2000 series?

Yes the 4000 series doubled performance from the 3000 series, and the 5000 series too from the 4000 series.

I really don't think doubling performance is the norm. It's 50-50 for recent ATI, and Nvidia is...christ I dunno. G92 shrunk to 40nm would probably blow away Fermi so I'd have to say they've gone backwards.
