ZDNET (badly translated) says that AMD cancelled there presence at Cebit this year. So I doubt it they will launch anything soon.

Except they will be, late March/early April.
As per cancelling Cebit we will have to wait and see. It seems unlikely that they would cancel.

They might not have their own booth but I'm sure their motherboard and GPU partners will have stuff to show.

Ok, so we can now safely assume that the RV790 is going to come, sometime.

Though, the most important, unanswered questions still lie.
40nm or tweaked 55nm.
Change in design, and if so, how much.
Cost.

According to hardware-info RV790 has now been tested at 850Mhz on the core with a voltage bump.

750/900 MHz @ 1,24 Volt
750/975 MHz @ 1,24 Volt
850/975 MHz @ 1,30 Volt

Edit- Does have some semi-new info on A11 RV740, supposedly on A13 now.
RV740 will use at least two different ICs for the GDDR5 versions, 32x32m for the 1gb card and 32x16m for the 512mb card.
512mb card has a 700mhz core and 800mhz memory, .9v vddc, 1.1v vddci, 1.55v mvddc.
1gb card has unknown core clock and 900mhz memory, 1.26v vddc & 1.5v mvddc.
Looking at the volts, you have to assume that the 1gb is going to have a higher core clock than the 512mb counterpart.
