Don't trust these... Remember the rumours about the HD 4770 'only' having 480 stream processors, when it turned out the chip infact had 800!

 

 

if the same thing happened again, then that would be a powerful video card 

Also even if the data is correct, clock speeds are subject to change right up to launch.

Unfortunately for those uber cards on a stick, you need a Core i7 to really drive the crossfire/sli setups. Thats Core i7 after an overclock I have to add. Add about 50% more performance to each core and you're really looking to be quite CPU limited!
