Nvidia claims that GK110 (K20) will have a 3x improvement in DP performance, see first slide:
http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2012/8/9/can-the-new-nvidia-quadro-k5000-become-the-most-profitable-graphics-card.aspx
That would mean 3x665 DP GFLOPS (M2090) => 1.995 TFLOP DP, which sounds almost too good to be true and would require a frequency of roughly 1 Ghz...
