doubt it 

Why would they use a modified 6670 when a 7970m uses less power and is at least twice as powerful? If they want a low power chip going for a low end desktop GPU is stupid when the low power low heat mobile GPUs exist.

If the other rumor is true, and the GPU is integrated on the CPU, they might be using an older GPU because it was the best option when they began the work needed to design an integrated chip ...
