That's wrong the HD 7850 (desktop) has 28CU's for 1792 shaders.

The Orbis in this article has

18 Compute Units (CUs)
Hardware balanced at 14 CUs

14 CUs for 896 shaders.

There is another HD 7850???

The HD 7950 have 1792 shaders in desktop.

Please don't make confusion with the names.

The GPU in Orbis have 18 CUs... two more than the HD 7850... if there is 4 dedicaded for others tasks I don't know but the overall raw power is 1.8TF.
