As far as I know there are no concrete pictures or specifications, but if it makes you feel better it's supposedly going to be out in August and the codename for it is R520.

Rumor has it that it will have 32 pipelines compared to the 7800s 24. That's about as much as I can tell you about it.

the next gen ati card that is going to be released is codenamed the r520. you can use the search feature built into the forum to find a lot of threads about this.

First time I've seen that ATI and NVidia didn't both release their new lineup at the same time. But then again I haven't been in the computer scene very long. :)

ATI released there 9700 with 8 pipes and D9 compatibleility about a year befor nvidia did. and befor that nvidia had there geforce 4 cards, so its like the companies are takin it in turns lol.

To add more rumors to the mill, supposedly the new ATI card will be called the X900 series.

nVidia released their 6800 series cards before ATI released their X800's. nVidia has really been on the ball lately making some damn nice products, I really hope ATI can actually fight back this time!

It has a vaporware launch date of July 26. If you can buy them before September I'll be amazed.

Supposedly the (paper?) launch will be July 26, which means we get the cards in mass quanities September-November(Like the X800 cards in '04). Nicknamed "Fudo" and R520, boasting 32 Pipes on its XTPE? Lots of "rumors" going around that it tops 10k in 3DMark 05 (But on which version?) We still need to wait until nVidia launches its Ultra in retaliation of the R520 when it comes out.
