Too many to mention. GPU's are not usually measured in FLOPS (FLoating point Operations Per Second) but in pixels/texels per clock, or more commonly now in the number of pipelines and shaders.

Just google AMD "Stream Processor" and GFlops.

For fragment/shader programs, AMD "Stream Processor" (Radeon R580 core) has peak performance of 375 GFlops.

is it the same (or similar) with the gpu's now, and memory, as it is with the linear increase of cpu-performance; doubled every 2. year or something? i've always been fascinated with that, but i guess it's about to change because the new architecture with low-power, multi-core etc. breaks the linear curve?

Moore's Law refers to transistor count. Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law
