It will be interesting to see nvidia's binned 580 cores compeeting against amd's binned 6970 cores.
Sure power consumption is going to be high, it is/going to be high from both parties at this level of performance. The power consumption is no worse than an SLI or crossfire configuration delivering comparable performance levels instead of two cards its all rolled onto a single pcb.

480's and 580's still sell despite having higher price tags and higher power consumption than the competition but they where also faster than the competing products.
