50 GFLOPS/Watt, 64 cores it comes with openCL drivers so in theory it should work no?

First there was Fire, then Electricity, and now Bitcoins Wink

possibly, at about the speed of 64 cpus
a 7970 has 2048 stream processors operating in parallel
FLOPS means nothing in Bitcoin mining - sorry

From another thread:

Quote from: ChipGeek on October 29, 2012, 10:13:08 PM

I do not believe this will be at all useful for mining. 16 processors at 700MHz each = roughly the same as 4 processors at 2800MHz (2.8GHz) which is any modern PC CPU.

So would you be excited about a new quad core CPU running at 2.8GHz from Intel or AMD? I certainly would not be.

So it's just as useful as CPU mining. If that gets you excited, go for it.
