In looking over the specs from the screenshots, there appears to have been a fair bit of crippling done on this model; only 352 stream processors, 1GB RAM and a 256-bit memory interface. Clock rates looked to be at 607MHz for the GPU, 1215MHz on the Shader clock and 3206MHz effective for the GDDR5 based memory.
Performance appeared to have been a bit of a mixed bag in comparison to varying models in AMD's HD 5800 series lineup; sometimes faster than the HD 5870, sometimes slower than the HD 5830, depending on the game/benchmark. This isn't a bad thing if the card launches at the price point we've been hearing for a while; around $300 U.S.
