ExPreview has news that NVidia is currently redesigning the GTX295 to a single-PCB design.

The current GTX295 features dual-PCB design codenamed P656 with one GPU on each. New GTX295 will adopt single PCB design known as P658, which means NVIDIA need to cram two G200 chips onto one PCB board. Therefore, the wiring and power supply parts as well as sandwich cooler need to be rearranged.

The main reason for such a change? Cost.  Single-PCB cards are significantly easier to manufacture and assemble, reducing manufacturing costs.
