Jaw dropping. This is, I want to, speechless.

AMD Reportedly Launching Radeon HD 7990 “Malta” Dual-Chip GPU on 22nd April

but will it hash?

Probably bitcoin very well, on the other hand, how it looks for litecoin with the 7970's, who knows till they are released.

They should codename this GPU Cyprus instead of Malta.

[Lethn]

And I thought my HD7950 was overkill.

I think Malta is perfectly appropriate:

I'm even wondering if that was intended (tinfoil hat on)

And I thought my HD7950 was overkill.

In next few years HD9950 will make this dual-gpu card weak and obsolete. Remember GeForce 7950GX2 or HD3850x2 ?

It is best card to have today. Or probably two of them in CF

I'm not that hardware savvy really lol I've only been learning about hardware more properly so I can fix my computers myself.

Essentially 2 HD7970s on one PCB with lower stock clocks. 2 would be only a bit behind quad 7970s and use less electricity. Serious heat output though.

How far the "technology" has come... It has 3 absolutelly useless fans now...

Yes, but they tend to be higher binned chips.  I will pick one of these up for personal use.  I have been trying to get the powercolor non reference version of this card but it has been out of stock each time I check.

It's luck of the draw really. Yeah the power cooler one looks really cool. Although I don't see a reason why you would pay 1000$ for a dual gpu card when you can get better performance and cheaper by maybe 200$ by picking up 2 hd7970s. Unless you are PCI-E limited.

I have this view because I mine AND game. Currently running 7970s x 2 and a HD7850.

I am estimating it will actually be about the same price as two 7970's or maybe $100 more.  Sometimes it is nice to have the best!  I do have two pci slots in 'my' machine but I will consider getting two of these 7990's in the end after some time.

They really need to start adding hashing speeds to the Specs section

That would be cool!  I do only buy 3 different cards right now though, 7950, 7970 and someday 7990.

AMD Radeon HD 7990 Video Card Review

I guess it doesn't even compare to two 7970's in crossfire. But miners don't use crossfire for mining, I wish, hardocp would include mining power review on their reviews.

Edit:

AMD Radeon HD 7990 Review Round-Up

[BeneQ]

I'm using  7970 CF +  7950 in  one of my  PC  , there is no problem with  mining  on  CrossFire
and  sometimes  you  can  play  BF3  ultra details   100FPS    .

I just have ordered  new  7990  , should be with me  on  Friday , what I know  new models 7990 are taking less power
than two Radeon 7970 in CF mode  of course at the same  clocks I mean .
