AMD and Nvidia both were to launch their next-gen graphics card in first half of 2013 according to their previous announcements, but the launch has been delayed.
AMD has now indirectly confirmed that their Radeon HD Sea Islands graphics cards have been pushed back for "quite some time".
AMD's marketing manager Robert Hallock tweeted that the HD 7000 Series will remain their prime focus for quite some time. Legit Reviews confirmed the HD 8000 series rumor by reaching to Robert who said,
"Yes, I made that comment. I cannot say anything more than what I’ve already said, really. AMD and its partners are happy with the HD 7000 Series, and it will continue to be our emphasis in the channel for the foreseeable future. I should note that HD 8000 Series has never been so much as hinted at for a channel release. Anything to the contrary is an unsubstantiated rumor fabricated to drive traffic."
Nvidia has also delayed their 700 series and working on the Kepler refresh or GeForce Titan. AMD could also launch the dual GPU HD 7990 to fill the gap, which was not launched in 2012.
