The “new” Radeon HD 7970 will be priced competitively to the GeForce GTX 670 (around $350-400), will retain the core configuration of the original HD 7970, with 1,792 Graphics CoreNext stream processors, 112 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface holding 3 GB of memory; but will feature higher clock speeds, with a core clock speed ≥1.00 GHz, and could feature AMD PowerTune with Boost feature. It is also reported that a majority of HD 7970 GHz Edition graphics cards launched to the market (later this quarter), will be cost-effective non-reference designs by AMD’s add-in board (AIB) partners.
