No leak yet on launch date with AMDs cards, but the rumors for nVidia have been estimated this month, some as early as May 21st.

Update: Upon further investigation myself, I really believe this display of DX12 makes no sense, and should be considered at best a potential hiccup of CPU-z. In fact, the leak of the HD8970 with only DX11.0 seems odd, as I would have predicted both cards taking advantage of the Win8 release of DX11.1.
Although I haven't seen the white paper of DX11.1, it is possible that the DX11.1 is a versioning only on the software side. If that was the case then all cards retroactively could support it if it is infact DX11.0 branding.
