AMD Radeon HD 7970 Specifications and Review

Available at the Price of 499EUR / 549 USD price tag bracket the product will have to compete directly with the equally expensive GeForce GTX 580, it will actually be a decent notch better then that IMHO. The results that you'll witness today will not dishearten. Where it matters (the latest and newer games) the Radeon HD 7970 will be a good 20%, 30% sometimes even 40% faster then the competition, and in the
world of enthusiast graphics performance.
AMD now bakes GPU's on the all new 28nm node, in very simple wording that means they can put more transistors on a smaller area. The Tahiti core has a stunning 4.3 Billion transistors, 4,312,711,873 to be precise!
The internal architecture has changed, we'll talk a little deeper about that in a minute. But as a result, the R7970 is packed with 2048 shader processors harbored in Compute Units segments (32 of them).
