AMD Quietly Reveals Next Radeon Series, Launches Next Week
   

 
   The cat is out of the bag, so to speak, after today's earnings conference call for AMD. One of the things that ended up being discussed by AMD CEO Dirk Meyer in today's call was the future of AMD's graphics division, where AMD's "second-generation DX11" GPUs were mentioned.

   We will be launching our second-generation DX11 graphics offerings next week.

   Later on, he also had the following to say about what's launching and what the expected volume is:

   We'll be introducing our second-generation of DX11 technology into the market with some launch activities actually next week. We'll be shipping all the family members of that product line I'll call it, by the end of this quarter, and total volume think in terms of several hundred thousand, or hundreds of thousands of units.

   No further details were given, so we'll have to see what they're up to next week.

Here we come 6000 series!  Although the first ones they release will only be mid level to low level stuff.  Later on they will release the high end stuff that will blow the 5970 out of the water.  nVidia better pick up the pace or they will be left in the dust!
