What is it about the available data for GK110 that makes you so certain it will match gtx690?
anandtech has rops incorrectly there ^ it should be..

ROPs <=60

the actual 3072 cores performance on gtx690 is equivalent to the 2880 cores on gk110 and who knows maybe a geforce gk110 will end up with 3840 cores

The K10 is an computing server card who is made of 2x GK104.. it achieve something peak like 4.58Tflops SP, but only 200Glfops DP ... If your need is for DP, forget this card, a single 7970 have allready 5x the capability in DP of the dual GK104 ... Just for give an idea 2x 7970 draw 7.58Tflops SP and 1.98 Tflops DP .. so 10x more DP rate of the dual GK104 K10 .. ( its for an idea, cant compare both ofc ).

The K20 will get surely a little bit faster SP of a single GK104 but a DP rate of 1Tflops minimum (vs 0.1 Tflops )... The card is aimed at server AND workstation use.

Basically K10 and K20 are not aimed at the same public. As it will serve different needs. speaking about market is a bit vague imo. K10 is aimed at CUDA acceleration mostly (and with his miserable DP rate, i m tempted to say only CUDA ) when the K20 will be capable of all.
it doesnt matter what k10 vs k20 is intended for from a geforce point of view

they can certainly build a 7.1billion 3072core 64rop 384/512bit gpu
they can certainly build a 7.1billion 3840core 60rop 384bit gpu

but only for gaming ? gk110 whitepaper is exactly the fermi compute whitepaper: compute blah blah blah

just how many kepler gpus do you guys think nvidia has in the pipeline.. for every low/high end markets ?

gk110 is it this is the motherload.. what will remain to be seen is how theyre going to go about those 960 dp units in a geforce

since they are very hush hush about the actual number of cores
