I've heard lot of things about an "early" refresh for the HD7000 in the beginning of this year (January/February) but everything was confirmed being false or rumours just fadeout.
Kepler being rumoured for late Q3 // early Q4 I can imagine the HD8000 should come earlier if AMD wants to take back the performance crown (and my money).
With 28nm supply shortage supposed to be solved this summer (Q3) it looks like it is a good time to drop a refresh being clocked higher with minor tweak to attenuate the price deflation on the current 28nm generation.
So yea, make your guess while you are here and if you got some recent news for next generations drop it there
