Are they going to surprises with a much improved GF116?
Was there something badly wrong about GF106 that we dont know of? It sucked pretty bad...
The thing that immediately comes to my mind was that one rumor a while back about possible 240 SPs on GF116. But that doesn't really make sense.

Given the 1 GB memory it looks like this variant of GF116 will only have a 128-bit bus (or could be 256, that would be a change…).

The only other thing I can think of is much higher clocks. If the clock increase is as much as GTX 460 » GTX 560 Ti, then we have 954/1908 for GTX 550 Ti, and if the FLOPS increase is the same, then we have 1090/2181…
