But these aren't even the same year, and, if I remember correctly, the 8670 is one of the 8000-series GPUs that was just a 7000-series GPU with a bigger number and lower power consumption. Might be wrong on that, though, don't know too much about 8000.
Just to clarify what you said, indeed the Radeon HD 8000 series are GPU chips corresponding to the HD 7000 series; but this time with GCN technology implemented.
