This Article States the following:

The attentive newshounds over at AnandTech have picked out a golden nugget of disclosure from AMD's earnings call last night, citing CEO Dirk Meyer as saying "we will be launching our second-generation DX11 graphics offerings next week." What he's talking about, of course, is the highly anticipated refresh of the Radeon HD 5000 series, which some recent spec leaks suggested would bring a healthy bump in performance. After announcing the new product line next week, AMD promises to flood the market with "hundreds of thousands of units," which will be shipping before the end of this quarter -- meaning you'll have a Radeon HD 6xxx in time for the holiday gaming craze if you really want it. Can't ask anymore than that, now can we?

So we will see 6xxx cards by christmas! Just in time to get your PC updated for Crysis 2

I almost bought an HD 5xxx over the summer, but thought that it might be a good idea to wait until the fall for a new line, and spend my money on better performance. Glad I waited. :)

Check the site, nvidia.com/technologies. The new series is still in the making, probably out by late 2011.

I hope not. I can't stand these stupid namebranding marketing tricks that Nvidia always loves to do.
