Otherwise the article is decent. There are a lot of assumptions, in terms of specs which have not been confirmed so it's a little hard to speculate but otherwise the point is fairly straightforward and valid.
My only gripe is this part:
"Looking at the performance of the 7870m gives us some indication of what power to expect from both next-generation consoles. The folks over at Tom's Hardware reviewed the card late last year and produced a great set of benchmarks with games running at max settings at 1080p: Dirt 3, 74.4fps; Battlefield 3, 54.2fps; Metro 2033, 25fps; Skyrim, 62.2fps; and Starcraft II, 104.5fps."
1. There is no chance in hell BF3 does 54 fps on maxed out at 1080p with a 7870m. They must have confused it with 7870 desktop edition.
2. Sarcraft II and Skyrim are a CPU bottlenecked game. The frame rate for those games is lower on AMD CPU's than Intels regardless of GPU.
