There is word going around the the new AMD R700 will be out just before or during ComputeX 2008. The R700 will be based of of the 55nm processing and have 480 stream processors. IT will also have a 256 bit memory controller and might end up using GDDR-5(still in production). There is also going to be a dual core card like the 3870X2 in the 4000 series lineup.

VR-zone is speculating that the upcoming 9800GT is going to move to the first 55nm core. The 9800GT was to be nor more that just an 8800GT with a new label and some different clocks. Nvidia said this because it would cut down on costs and temperature.
