AMD's seriously gearing up for 2011, but it would seem that they're actually working on even more cards than anyone expected, since some info regarding a possible AMD Radeon HD 7000 series GPU has just made its way online.

This sort of turns the whole AMD Radeon HD roadmap we've talked about earlier right on its head, since there was absolutely no mention there about such a high-end GPU coming as early as April 2011.

According to the slide leaked to Rumorpedia, this future graphics card will apparently deliver an impressive level of computing performance (10 TFLOPs single precision, 2.6 TFLOPs double precision), 5.1 GTRL/s geometry processing, 6000 stream processors, 96 pixels/clock rasterizing perfomance, 6GB GDDR5 memory and 384 GB/s memory bandwidth.

Plus, the card will also have a 375/41 W active/idle TDP, 1 DVI interface and no less than 6 mini-Display port interfaces (for creating a truly huge multi-monitor setup).

Well, if what we've told you up until now sounds just a tad odd to be true (those 6GB of memory were particularly out of this world, the same going for the number of stream processors), that's because...it obviously isn't.

So, apparently, somebody decided to play a little hoax on people around the interwebs and used their Photoshop skills in order doctor an AMD slide, making up a fake product.

Plus, the person behind this hoax left some pretty clear clues as to the slide's fake nature, and we're not only talking about the specs here, but mostly about the release data (April 1'st).

Of course, it's quite possible that such a hardware component will become one day a reality and not just the result of an enthusiast's vivid imagination, but until that happens, we'll just have to go back to our usual coverage of the yet unreleased AMD 6900 series.
