with the same GPU clock as HD 7970 GHz, it can be +20-25 percents performance above Radeon HD 7970 GHz in best case
I'm thinking (the biggest they would do):
More shaders- 44CUs or double the SIMDs and TFUs per CU and go with ~24CUs(3072ALUs and 192TFUs) [depends on how much a diff the stronger FE makes]
Better frontend- the 4ACEs and 3geometry rumor thats been floating around sounds like a decent increase.
Slightly more ROPs- I don't see them going with 48ROPs unless they move to 512bit w/ 6ghz GDDR5(unlikely) or starve/make the ROPs more bandwidth efficient.
If they use 7Gbps GDDR5, that would offer ~27% more bandwidth allowing them to do the 40ROPs, a 25% increase.

Core clocks would be under 1ghz, probably around 900-950mhz(one would hope).

That should fit in <500mm2(imo 440-480mm2) and I would assume stay around 250-265w TDP.

That should roughly match Titan.
