@ 2009/10/09AMD is internally talking about its next generation stuff, something that looks to be the next, 2010 generation of DirectX 11 hardware.
The codename is Hecatoncheires, named after gigantic fifty headed creatures of great strength in Greek mythology which despite being weaker than Titans, managed to beat them. A simple analogy would put Nvidia in the role of Titans, and since Hecatoncheires had more heads, this would suggest a larger chip with more shaders.
