GeForce GTX 560 to replace 460 next year
GeForce GTX 460 was Nvidia's life saver, and all reports are indicating that it has been selling well. Even AMD admitted that to its analists. This is the main reason why Nvidia won’t release a new GTX 560 until early next year. This is the card that is supposed to replace the GTX 460. The new card is based on GF114 chip, which is an improved GF104 with better clocks and all eight clusters enabled. Also, the complete GF104 core contains 64 texture address units and 512 texture filtering units.The number of SFUs jumps from 56 to 64. You can also expect a significant increase in clock speed as well as memory and the “new” card will run at higher than 675MHz core and 1350MHz shaders.

Numbers are likely to be well below those of the iPad, however, since HP relegated it to the enterprise category where devices usually sell in far fewer numbers than home-oriented devices. The entire 2010 Windows tablet PC market was estimated earlier this year to reach 1.25 million units where Apple's iPad managed similar results in less than two months.
