Do you honestly believe Nvidia is gonna drop its hotclocks? to live up to claims about GPGPU compute performance/watt?
I dont think nvidia will use more shaders, that are smaller/simplier than their current fermi ones either. To me that would be a step backwards for them, unless that way of doing things proves to be more effecient (maybe
THEN nvidia could take a approch more akin to AMDs, but I doubt that ll happend, because so far their design philosopy is able to keep up fine in performance/watt, sure its abit below AMDs but not by insane margins).
That Spec sheet ORB either heard about, or made up, looks very possible at the very least
(id be assumeing it has hotclocks as well, and performs abit under a 7950, based on those specs).
