what about the news here about the gpu being hd7870

Spec wise = HD 7870
GCN wise = GCN 1.1 (the same of R9 290X, R7 260)

And Radeon 7790, just more CU's and ACE units amongst other things.
It still won't compete with a Radeon 290 or 290X or even the 280 or 280X when Mantle is released, but it's certainly better than the Render-Output-Pipeline starved Xbox One.

This is just confirmation of what we knew earlier basically, but due to the clocks it's actuall performance is around the level of a Radeon 7850. - I would personally peg it between the 7850 and 7870, which is on the high-end spectrum of the mid-range PC discreet GPU market.
