gpu clock speeds with ati

[DarkWhisper]

Why is it that the higher the card range the lower the gpu speed
4890 -850mhz
5870 -850mhz
5970 -725mhz

Why doesnt the speed go up like the stream possessors. 800/1400/1600/3200

5970 is downclocked due to heat and power constraints.

The main reason's are due to better design and advancement in GFX technology.

From the examples he gave the only reason is TDP
