So the final GTX480 will have 480 shaders (one main unit disabled) and clocks upped to 675, so I'll pretty have the performance of the 512 shaders, 600MHz ES I tested, that being 3.6% faster on average then the 5870.
So judging by the price, power & heat - overall it's not worth the trouble.
One of the posts was already deleted which a user comments on in the thread... but he clearly said the clocks I mentioned before as what his ES came with. The one with that quote is top post on page 4 of the linked thread.
