In fact the date it will be announced is March 26th at PAX East in Boston. Vector will be traveling to Boston to help run the first Away GeForce LAN, so expect a lot of pictures from the launch event. If you are interested in exactly the difference - rather the new features of Fermi - check out this video that Tom Peterson put up at Nvidia's video blog.
