I'd love for this to be a role reversal where previously ATI/AMD have talked up a feature only for Nvidia to release a design that makes AMDs version look second rate.
I'm thinking of the unified shaders of R600 and G80, where Nvidia were rather quiet on whether G80 would have unified shaders until they dropped 8800 GTX, and ATI talked quite a lot about them.
Tessellation is a more recent example - AMD had it in hardware from R600 all they way up to Evergreen, but Nvidia came out with Fermi and took the lead.
It could also just be Nvidia doing the same as the examples above, except this time AMD have barely shown up to the party. Lets hope not.
