Fortunately the op left out the line in the original that the GPU is an "AMD Radeon HD 7970", so the whole rumour sounds a bit more believable.
Still anyone can make up such specs, it is quite easy. My rumour of the day: An AMD A10-5700 and an additional ATI 7790-type GPU on a shared 2g Gddr5 bus, and a cheap dsp for sound..

The Tahiti core is used in the 79X0 GPUs but clearly the PS4 is not going to use an off the shelf GPU it will be modified and gudging by the GFLOPS listed on the site the PS4 would be a highly cut down version of the GPU.

1800 GFLOPS? Its not a Tahiti core if it cut back that much. The 7970 has 3800 GLOPS, but GFLOPS means nothing in gaming. It should be a customised core, but its not Tahiti if it doens't have at least 112 texture units, if it as 80 its a Pitcain card. If its 40 its Cape Verde. And if they put a Cape Verde card in, Sony fails. Need at least 60 texture units for next gen.

 

By comparison, RSX does 0 GFLOPS (no unified shaders) and has 24 texture units (gimped by 128-bit GDDR3)
