With graphics card releases whats the latest on what will be coming next and what sort of timescale are we looking at?
 
Well there nothing concrete, but we have had one of Nvidias own expected performance claims that Kelper will do 2.5x the DP floating point performance of Fermi. now of course that in itself could mean nearly anything as far as gaming goes.
We could see actually working out just how Nvidia wont it too, or they could fall short of that mark, only they know how close to that claim they are at the moment.
the only other snippet of info that has come to light is that Kelper supposedly has the maximum TDP as Fermi which isn't really surprising as neither company is suddenly only going to produce 150w GPU's.

What any of this means for the end product nobody really knows.
 
it could be a long wait, the rumour mill is doing its usual as it invariably does on the lead up to any new card launch. Both companies have taped out their next generation silicon though AMD were a good few months ahead with theirs, both companies are using TSMC so it wll all depend on how well they get the process to work.
we could be seeing the first new AMD cards a few months earlier than Nvidia's an they are supposedly now deayed from december 2011 to january 2012, which of course could be anything from a few days delay to an 8 week delay. it proberbly wont be the last delay that we hear about either, just look at AMD's buldozer it keeps getting put back so its not only Nvidia that has these issues. I dont thnk AMD have said anything about any definate dates for their next gen cards yet so until they do say and that date slips, hey cannot really be classed as delayed.
 
Yeah, I don't think we will see that much this year in the way of a release from AMD, save for information, both official and otherwise, trickling through. Hopefully I'm wrong, video reviews and forum discussion are usually an enjoyable read.

I also think that chart (if I am thinking of the same one you are) was performance per watt. It also had maxwell up at something like 6x power.

Still, all comes down to price vs competition.
