AMD has briefed EnGadget on the future of the AMD CPU and GPU lines, and the results look impressive.

The slides explicitly describe the recently launched HD 6870 / 6850 as mere refreshes, aiming to bring HD 5800 series performance in a more efficient package, but peek beyond them and you’ll see an armada of HD 6900 chips just itching to bring the fight to NVIDIA and its newly crowned GTX 580 king of the single-GPU hill. No specs yet, of course, but at least we now know there’ll be some fireworks to greet us early in the new year.

The roadmaps show upcoming Radeon cards, as well as the upcoming ‘Fusion’ APU unit.

See the other 3 roadmaps after the break.
