Radeon HD 7950 Specifications Leaked

Last Thursday, AMD launched the Radeon HD 7970 graphics card based on its new 28 nm "Tahiti" silicon, but it remained tight-lipped about the specifications of the more important SKU that will be based on it, the Radeon HD 7950. The HD 7970 will carry a launch price of US $550, making the HD 7950 an SKU to watch out for. According to details released by XTReview, the "Tahiti Pro" or HD 7950 will be carved out this way:

• 1792 stream processors, 28 GCN compute units
• 112 TMUs, 32 ROPs (derived)
• 384-bit GDDR5 memory interface
• 3 GB memory, memory clock around 5.00 GHz

The core clock speed, the exact memory clock speed, and more importantly, the target price-point, remain unknown. The Radeon HD 7950 is expected to be launched on the 9th of January.
