Well actually the GT200 is just G92 with double the ROPS + double the buswidth + some other features.

It's not a new architecture, it's a G92 refresh but Nvidia felt that it should name it 200 series. (Oh wait, Nvidia did actaully make G92 the 200 series )

Well actually Fermi is just GT200 shrunk with rearranged ROPS + GDDR5 + better Tesselator + some CUDA changes.

It's not a new architecture, it's a GT200 refresh but Nvidiaf elt that it should name it 400 series.
