You can see their updated results here http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2012-vga-gpgpu/14-GPGPU-Bitmining,2970.html
Which still seem too low. I know the 7950 I have gets 414 at stock clocks with cg miner and that's what their 7970 gets.

Awesome!
Looks like bitcoin is gonna gain a lot more momentum soon with all these mentions. +1 for the cause!

Also, if anyone wants to do a straight swap of my 6970 at an impressive 390MH/s for your 6990 at a pathetic 389MH/s, we could work something out.
Yeah it might be too much to ask but it would be nice if they ask for HERE for some assistance of proper mining configurations.
I mean yeah there is some variance depedning on the particular miners and params but 300 MH/s for a 7970 is just a useless datapoint.

Are they going to start using correct miners? They were showing the 7970's max mining potential as 300mhash or so for a long time, while you could easily get double that with diablo...
oh that's who mysteryminer2 is!
About that Bitcoin vs. F@H thingie in the comments:
Unlike F@H Bitcoin has a 100% stable algorithm that has to be executed on every worker. F@H or any other BOINC project might update their algorithms over time and invalidating the older benchmarks. Bitcoin mining only might make use of updated OpenCL kernels if someone discovers that there is a more efficient wasy of combining some AND and OR instructions or the like. The algorithm itself ("SHA256(SHA256(header))<=Difficulty") won't change though.
