ajaidev,
That PCGH page had just 14 pics from all sides of the card. Nothing we haven't seen before.
What do you mean by "16 x 5 instead of 8 x 10"?
In RV770 ALUs are arranged in 10 blocks of 80ALUs each, with internal structure of 16×5ALUs.
Since Cypress has 1600SPs that pic would mean there are no longer blocks of 80ALUs, but 50ALUs (1600/32=50). And that would mean the internal structure was reduced to 10×5ALUs, instead of 16×5ALUs. That might mean the ALUs are now easier to keep busy and as such, RV870 would have a higher shader core IPC.
Maybe.
