Hope that's accurate. I imagine it will need roughly 2800 SP and roughly 50 percent higher clocks than the 28nm cards to be the card I want. We'll see. Good to have an AMD "insider" posting here

Ideally, I'm looking for something roughly "twice" the performance of one of my current 4 year old 28nm cards. If I could get that for the rumored price, its a done deal. I don't really care how they multiply Stream Processor count and clock rate to get that 2X performance. However, I know that will not translate to every game being 2X FPS (for example, a few older games are more CPU limited and may show little or no increase).
