I'm having a bad case of insomnia and couldn't tell my eyelids to close, so I did some lookups on the parts being used.

Base model (with 256GB SSD standard):
- 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache = i7-3610QM OR i7-3615QM
(only difference between those two models is the latter can run up to 1.2GHz on its iGPU vs 1.1GHz)

Upgraded model (with 512GB SSD standard):
- 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache = i7-3720QM

Custom order:
- 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz) = i7-3820QM (8MB shared L3 cache vs lesser parts)

As for the GPU itself:
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

Looking at NVIDIA's launch on the 600M series, my guess for the GPU in the new RMBP:
850MHz GPU clock
"up to" 384 CUDA cores (possible less than 384, at this point I don't know)
1GB GDDR5 video RAM (from Apple's specs page)
32GB/s memory bandwidth
