No matter how you look at it, a 55nm GPU is better than a 65nm GPU. The smaller you go, the more components you can stuff into each piece of silicon, the more juice you can squize out of it. Don't think its easy to create a revolutionary piece of hardware out of thin air just because you want to. I personally view the GeForce 9 series as a stepping stone to far more advanced type of hardware. Today GPU cores have the same specs like the pentium III proccessors (~600 MHz). Picture a GPU core with twice the massivity and speed as the G92, then add 1GB of GDDR5 memory (maybe even 2) with a 512bit bus...lovely isn't it...picture a dual-GPU card consisting of these two monstrousities in an SLI configuration. By that time Intel and AMD will release their octo-core (8 cores) CPUs and DDR4 RAM sticks (and DDR4 motherboards). Crysis will probably fly at over 120 fps with AA x16, or more at the highest resolutions possible. Just close your eyes and imagine. Although you'll pobably kill yourself when you'll see the electricity bill...hehehe.
