1GHz+ of Radeon HD 7990 and Radeon HD 7790 Rumors
It could very well be that AMD is working on a Dual-GPU 7970 GHz, thus Radeon HD 7990 edition graphics card. Rumors are that this is being developed under codename Malta. Both GPU's would be clocked 'well' over 1 GHz. But there's more ...
According to Fudzilla, AMD is preparing at least two new graphics cards. One would be Radeon HD 7790, with a new GPU called Bonaire XT. This would be a mid-range segment product with performance close to the HD 7870. Apparently AMD will not allow its partners to factory overclock the cards based on this GPU though. There is no specific release date given, but the product is believed to arrive in first half of this year, probably in April.
And then there's the AMD Radeon HD 7990 (Malta) - AMD would be prepping this product to anticipate and the GeForce GTX Titan and sure, the GeForce GTX 690.
With two Tahiti GPUs likely XT2 this a dual-gpu card could haul serious ass alright. Still it is based on a speculation from a source that has been wrong on many occasions. You may assume however that the card would offer a GPU core clock above one GHz, and that would seriously interfere with NVIDIA’s flagship products.
Well, as always, we'll have to wait and see.

I'd like to see them release a 7980 (single GPU card competing against the Titan).

Malta sounds a lot better than "titan" no...much more style etc
really what's with AMD's name scheme. lets have something a little more adventurous no?
p.s never been to Malta, isnt it the home of the Knights Hospitaller?

Oh yes we do!
Unfortunately Titans price tag is WAY out of my reach, so maybe AMD will do something really nice for a reasonable price.

Why thanks (I live in Malta) kinda surprised they even know this country exists, maybe there's a Maltese engineer working at AMD?
It used to be until it was lost to the French in the 1790s... and the UK a few years later (nobody liked the French at the time xD), now it's a republic.

Let's see how it performs. The Titan looks hard to beat with a current generation AMD single GPU solution. But if priced right a dual GPU card may outsell the Titan.

Like a new 5970 almost. They coulda done that to start with IMO, down-clock a pair of cherry-picked 7970 chips (for low voltage) and stick 'em on a 300 or 375W board, with 6+8 or 2 x 8 pin PCIe power connectors. 6GB VRAM, that woulda been a killer card a year ago.

Me too and at reasonable price - not that nvidia joke, i mean Titan
This leaked Sapphire chart with 2304 cores at 1225Mhz could do the trick.

Two 7970 would easily beat titan. but titan is a single gpu this is dual so its not on the same page.

Yo Hilbert, I think "Radeon HD 7790 Rumors" is supposed to be 7970.
