To save you getting eye strain
GE90
Fan Diameter 123.0 inches
22 wide chord blades (carbon fibre with titanium leading and trailing edges)
100% N1 2,261 rpm
100% N2 9,332 rpm
Thrust 76k to 85k (90k for some operators)
New bigger fan and intake takes it to 115k (swept chord blades)

RR Trent
Fan Diameter 110.3 inches
26 wide chord blades (vacuum formed hollow titanium)
100% N1 3,300 rpm
100% N2 7,000 rpm
100% N3 10.611 rpm
Thrust 95k

BTW one can get the GE90 fan to growl quite nicely

I never understood why Boeing found it necessary with the Trent to flatten off the lower part of the nose cowl similar to the cfm 56 on the 737 whereas the '90 which is a bigger diameter has a 'round' nose cowl
