You're looking at 128 ROPS operating at 1500MHz and 256 texture units. It'll have 10GB of GDDR6 at 2000(8000). It'll have support for DirectX 12.

Current rumours (musings, even):
Cayman architecture
<3000 shaders for 7970

7000 series !? Really? Already !? ...dx12 ?!?! i feel like we have only seen few titles that actually take advantage of DX11 ....... only good thing is that im sure by the time these next series of cards launch ill be due for a new set up 
I would assume they are still ways away ?

Apparently not. They are definitely DX11 parts.

"however, saying retail cards might arrive some time between July 2011 and July 2012."
LOL... Of course new AMD cards will arrive by July 2012. Thatll be just over 1 1/2 years since the release of the 6970 (and even longer for the 68xx cards). Im not worried about it. It wont be here in July 2011 so who cares.

BF3 looks as though it'll become the new flagship title for PC, and if it does, whichever company has the best performing cards on release will see a nice boost in sales.
It's going to get interesting.

The 6000 series was always a stop gap generation.

Who cares what it was? My 6970 is a noticeable difference over my 5850 overclocked to faster than stock 5870 speeds.
I prefer to constantly upgrade. I used to be the person to dump alot of money into a single computer every few years but found upgrading and reselling earlier than expected yields about the same prices so Ill definitely jump on a 7xxx card whenever it comes Screw waiting for the next thing, youll always be waiting. Ill just get the next thing and be happy

They're good cards for what they are, no denying that.
I was going to get 2 6970s, but they didn't offer enough performance over a 5870 for me. I'm going to get two 7970s now instead, and I won't be waiting for the 8000 series as my 5870 is starting to show its age a little.
I'm also waiting for an 8 core Ivy Bridge chip to load up with 16GB of RAM.
After that I'll get an SSD as well.
Sorted.
