AMD has now confirmed the rumors that its next generation of GPUs will be delayed and instead will be focusing on its Radeon HD 7000 series for 2013. Disappointingly, the December 2012 reveal of desktop and mobile HD 8000 series GPUs is simply an OEM rebrand of its existing lineup and a true successor to the HD 7000 will likely only see release during Q4 2013.

In the meantime AMDs focus will focus on developing the 28 nm GPU that could be used in a next generation console, perhaps the PS4. AMD has also noted that it won't be leaving its customers completely in the dark and will be holding a number of aggressive promotional activities including the Never Settle bundle.
