AMD 6990 - WILL BE RELEASED ON MARCH 8TH?!

Unfortunately, can't say where it would be pre-ordered, but I am sure soon it will be announced too. They are pretty cool...
 
Radeon HD5970 4.64 Tflops compute power
Radeon HD6990 5.10 Tflops compute power (rumoured and unconfirmed)

The HD6990 on paper has a 10% increase in compute performance over a it's predecessor.

Radeon HD5970 297 watts TDP/464 FLOPS = 1.56 flops per watt
Radeon HD6990 375 watts TDP/510 FLOPS = 1.36 flops per watt (rumoured and unconfirmed)

On paper the HD6990 is 14.7% less efficient per watt then its predecessor.

Yeah and how often were the final 5 shaders in each group actually filled? All 640 of them. Hardly ever is the answer you are looking for.
