Power consumption is not good but it could be the same or better than a dual GTX580 card, we have to Wait and see.
Personally speaking i am not into mGPU solutions since A) They don't offer twice the performance (or3/4 times with Tri/Quad SLI/CF) B) They are Noisy (The 6990 while playing BulletStorm or Metro2033 is terrible - thank god i have a Tannoy 5.1 speaker system) and C) They do use too much power.
In any case this is going to end up as another flame between AMD people who used to run crazy over the fact that the GTX4xx series used lots of power but now they use that to say "hey we are not worse" and NVIDIA fans who can rest assure that they have the best single core card and easily the best mGPU card if the green camp ever releases it.
