How long before we see a better GPU?

Now that imacs have 130m GTs, I wonder how long before better GPUs in the mbps. Videocard lifespans are pretty short.
 
Q3 2010 (August 2010 to be precise)
Lots of magical things are going to be released from Apple in August 2010.

the 130m GT is basically the same 9600m GT that is in the current MBP. Nvidia just renames their GPU's to make them seem new.

9650M GT

Then again the difference there is just clock speed over the 9600M GT. I don't expect any major updates anytime soon with Intel slowing things down and changing roadmaps due to the recession, etc.
 
Seeming the current 9600GT is downclocked due to overheating maybe Apple should work on better cooling so we can run current cards at the correct speed before looking at adding even faster cards?

Style over function and performance. 🙄
 
I don't know if anyone has seen, but the 9400m is actually faster then the baseline dedicated card that the last models had (according to Apple specs)
