    From Forbes: "Exclusive Interview: AMD's Matt Skynner Talks New Radeon Cards, Next-Gen Consoles, 7990 Criticism."

    He gives a bit of information about AMD's upcoming GPUs.

We normally address what we call the ultra-enthusiast segment with a dual-GPU offering like the 7990. So this next-generation line is targeting more of the enthusiast market versus the ultra-enthusiast one.

    It?s also extremely efficient. [Nvidia's Kepler] GK110 is nearly 30% bigger from a die size point of view. We believe we have the best performance for the die size for the enthusiast GPU.

    Another thing I can tell you is about the process node: this GPU is in 28nm. Some have speculated that it was 20nm and it?s not for a specific reason: At 28nm for an enthusiast GPU, we can achieve higher clock speeds and higher absolute performance.
    That's around 425-435 mm^2 for (what I assume to be) Hawaii then. (I've seen different places say 551 mm^2 or 561 mm^2 for GK110.)
