[FUD] HD 5970 dual card spec'd
We've come across an early listing of AMD's upcoming dual-GPU Hemlock card, or the HD 5970 to be exact. AMD dropped the X2 moniker from its dual-GPU cards, so now we will have a bit more numbers to be confused by.

Bear in mind that the spec is still unofficial, so take these numbers with a grain of salt. The HD 5970 apparently packs to RV870 chips clocked at 725MHz and 2GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1000MHz on two 256-bit buses. If you're thinking these are HD 5850 clocks, you are right. However, the HD 5970 has 2 x 1600 stream processors and 2 x 80 texture units, twice what you'd get on an HD 5870.

There's still no word on power consumption, but we're probably looking at more than 300W. AMD is still facing serious shortages of HD 5000 series cards, so don't expect you'll be able to get your hands on an HD 5970 anytime soon. Nonetheless, Hemlock will secure the GPU performance crown for AMD over the next couple of months.
Not bad at all, I'd like to see the temps, though.
