GTX 880.. maybe???

Make a hotter card and then cool it with a blower, then add a few 00's to make up the lose of sales.

I'm pretty sure that the TDP is wrong, surly it can't be that hot?

Well with more watts, comes more heat. The 780 Ti has a 250w TDP and with the stock cooler it hits 85*c. Add another 125w on top of that then you have temps possibly going into the 100's, unless it is cooled well or with fans blowing really hard and loud.

As I said though, I don't think it will be 375w TDP, doesn't sound right anyway. Until we learn more we wont know what the real specs are. It is all speculation at the moment, we don't even know for sure if this is 100% legit. Things like this always get faked, not saying this is fake, just saying until we know more we can't say for sure.

375W TDP?
That has to be wrong? A 290 is 275w TDP.

Having those connections doesn't mean that the final would have, that is an ES and they have all that power just for testing purpouse...

Imagine if it had a 375W TDP but with the same GFLOPS/Watt ratio as the 750Ti...

I don't think that the gtx 880 will have anywhere near 375W TDP, the new architecture is a lot more efficient, so unless its a dual gpu card then i don't think its going to happen. The photo is probably of an early ES sample, so they added extra connectors to see what clocks and voltages it can achieve.

Exactly ^

Fantastic to see all the feedback with what we think the 880 will have I'm sure the 3 connectors are only for the ES card as RambOC said I can't see them being there in the final revision. I've have done some measuring of the die in the leaked image and it appears to be roughly 304mm² so it's more than likely a enthusiast chip and not a low budget low energy model.. only time will tell.

EDIT: Also I most say it does look as though this is the 28nm Maxwell so it's highly unlikely it's a low power chip, given my recent report on the 20nm production which is only in its infancy and we'll not see it until late 2015 and this card is due later this year... so the GTX 9** series should be 20nm.
