amd hd 7970 specs

http://www.brightsideofnews.com/new...-mix-gcn-with-vliw4--vliw5-architectures.aspx


AMD kept the unified clock concept and given that Radeon HD 7970 is based on fully configured "Tahiti XT" GPU, 2048 cores (32 Compute Units) operate at 1GHz clock. 3GB of GDDR5 memory operates in Quad Data Rate mode i.e. 1.37GHz ODR ("effective 5.5GHz"). This results with record video memory bandwidth for a single GPU - 264GB/s.

As far as the dual-GPU "New Zealand", 6GB GDDR5 is expected to be clocked on the same level as the HD6990/7970, meaning you will be getting full performance out of the dual-GPU part.

384 bit means it will be expensive :(

But other then that it will make nvidia cry :P

Unlikely to be true - 2048 cores would be more like the old VLIW4 design and not GCN. GCN advocates less, but more capable, cores, similar to what nvidia does.

EDIT: Also misleading headline, not official in any way.
 
Nothing is official until AMD has a press release / posts the specs on their site
