They listed the Gigabyte 4870X2 2048Mb in their test setup.So it's basically CF of two 4870s.Still the results ,like Extelleron said,are quite high.Let's hope this is not another fake ,as we approach the launch day.
I posted this in amd section,but might as well here since more people reads news.
They did update the blog with Crysis Warhead numbers(4870X2 used and only Deneb @ stock 3Ghz for now):

Anyone knows what numbers C2Q@3Ghz or Core i7 @3-3.2Ghz show in this game and resolution settings with 4870X2?

Crysis Warhead @ Deneb
Only with factory default freqs.
Cpu name: Phenom II 940 (core Deneb, AM2+) @ 3GHz
Motherboard: M3A79-T Deluxe (AMD 790FX+SB750 )
Memory: 4096 Mb CSX 1066MHz (DDR2)
Graphics: Gigabyte 4870X2 2048Mb
Os: Win Vista 64 Service Pack 1
Drivers: Motherboard bios: 0602, Catalyst 8.10, MB chipset 3.0.642.0
Crysis Warhead: DX10 high, shaders very high, 1920x1200x32, AA off
Results:
Average:47fps
Max: 84fps
Min: 36fps
bye: Dred
Its time to sleep fellaz! 4pm! :Dlol
Sleep at 4 PM.... ok.. :(
here's what i found, with warhead, not X2 but 2x4870..it shows around 33fps 1900x1200x32 no AA
don't know what is "enthusiast quality" settings though...
cpu doesn't seem to be the bottleneck though as fps is still increasing with 3xGTX280
that would be around 50% more fps with a similar settup
i'm really confused by those numbers, i'd like to see same numbers with same settings on i940
could it be the ram on this X2 vs the ram on regular 4870? the perf gap between GTX ans 4870 could point it

From the same blog.. hereQuote:
This is Phenom (940).
@1,92V=5210MHz!
@1,78V=4530MHz!
These numbers seem more inline with what we were expecting to see.
I'd still like to think that based on these preliminary results that 4ghz+ should be easily obtainable for anyone with a good mobo and decent cooling... Looking forward to January!
18 pages and not one picture of that 6.3GHz... why? don't understand, why there is no pictures of this outstanding result.
Of these two phenom II chips, which will overclock better?
1. phenom 2 940 AM2+ 125 watt (unlocked)
2. phenom 2 945 AM3 95 watt (unlocked)
Because AMD forbade anyone to do so. NDA in other words. Every journalist had to tone down their articles as AMD did not really want to reveal what these could do under LN2. Maybe to try and contain the hype somewhat. Some people are already yelling things like "Nehalem killer!", which is a bit of an exaggeration at this point in time as there are no reliable performance reviews out yet.
Or maybe it will match Agena clock for clock?
Hornet,the dude clearly can't say exact figures as he is limited obviously by NDA.
Just FYI,3.6Ghz is 11%(eleven percent) lower than 4Ghz.Eleven percent is nothing,especially as we know by now how well Deneb reacts to additional VCore,provided you have good air cooling.The chip has very low power draw even though default Vcore is 1.35V.So 1.6V is not that high for this gen. of AMD chips.
edit: don't forget the posted benchmark results from that blog could be fake,so we need to keep that possibility in mind.
what dont you quote saaya's post saying more vcore doesnt help while you're at it :)
Why don't you ask saaya what stepping did he test while you're at it?C1 or C2?ES or retail?
It'd hurt AMD :D
When is the NDA lifted so we can see the real thing and not this damn speculation and useless blabla? Hey I SWEAR I have a 10GHz i7! ON AIR! 1,6v is NOTHING. But I won't let you see it beause I'm under my own NDA, instead I'll tease you a bit. Are you jealous? :hrhr:
They better release some real evidences of this soon.
