So going by Tech Reports x-fire numbers of the 5870 and 5850(simulated), would an actual 5870x2's performance be somewhere inbetween those two x-fire results?

Any speculation on this?

I only think this because the x2 will most likely be downclocked to 5850 speeds but still have the 1600 shaders of each 5870.

Or anyone think it will be faster than 5870 in x-fire..maybe because of some other reason?
