They are pretty much by now 7 months late, why basically wait 7 months if all you are going to do is release a rebaged 200 series cards?
They could have overclocked the 200 series, they could have put better capacitors to reduce power consumption, improve their boost technology to reduce power consumption and release rebaged 200 series like 7 months ago!
By the time they actually start selling the "new" cards its going to be pretty much 8 months late to the marker, so what have they been doing for 8 months? One would think they were waiting for 20nm to build their new series on it and that was the holdup, that was the issue.

Or maybe.. they're right on time? Even Early. It's been known since at least April, that AMD would be unveiling their line up at their co-produced PC Gaming show at E3.
Think about what the Fury line (if it delivers) will mean for the next year leading up to 16nm and HBM2.
AMD has been pushing 4K for a while now, and VR (Liquid VR) a lot recently. DX12/Vulkan equally so. The VR presence at E3 this year is going to be monumental. Sony is already rumored to have a large portion of their conference to Morpheus. Occulus just did a terrible presentation on Friday, but they will still be huge at E3. And the HTC/Valve Vive, launching this fall, will be big too, although no conference from Valve, the buzz will be there.
If AMD promotes itself as the premiere VR hardware solution, showing their hardware, tech, and involvement as the best place for this
Revolution in gaming. Then are they late? At this point Gameworks VR looks rather late. March 5 for articles detailing Liquid VR vs. May 31 for articles for Gameworks VR. Development time withstanding.
With the new Low Level API's, and Windows10(DX12) launching at the end of July, Vulkan this year hopefully, AMD is poised to be in the mind of developers and buyers because E3 is such a huge industry event.
Now if the Fury line delivers, that "Halo" effect will balloon onto the 300 series of cards. I'm honestly amazed at how much their silence is creating more hype, as nothing can be reliably confirmed.

If some tech "journalists" get in a tizzy because they weren't invited to an obvious shill party, then I'd have to throw in the word -Entitled-. These invitees are extensions of AMD's marketing arm. I've no doubt Intel, and NVidia have the same functions.
Next week is going to be fun.
Is that HDMI 2 or it cut off the text for 2XDVI?
It'd be stupid if it was cut for 2 DVI, not only would the sentence structure be misleading without commas, or any kind of separation, it's something that should be fixed. I'm hoping it IS HDMI 2 and that means respins. Otherwise why have it listed at all?
(DP HDMI 2 DVI) vs. (DP HDMI 2)
