A 7600 makes zero sense in a box launching at the end of this year, that's a two and a half year old card. My guess is that it's a placeholder card in developer kits to emulate something that wasn't available yet (either a chungus iGPU, or a 9600).

Two 12V-HPWR connectors, so you've got two chances to plug it in incorrectly and burn your system down

Sorry, it's an old Anandtech in joke 🙂 I absolutely don't expect SMT4, because at that point you start adding more resources prioritising SMT to the detriment of per-core performance. There's some utility as a licensing hack for software that is charged per core, rather than per thread, but...
