Even the cpu should be faster but it depends on clocks.
well theres a few things to think about that i realized after my post.
if its based on GCN, then how would they do xfire if the lower end 7000 gpus are based on the previous arch. which makes sense why they lower end 7000s are the previous arch, so its all compatible. and what informal said, the size of the 2 PD cores is really small, so hopefully this means we shall soon see 10 core non L3 chips with great turbo clocks and maybe some extra single threaded perf.
