These screenshots are not guaranteed and are pure unverified at this point. Especially with the level Photoshopping skills on the internet (ala 4chan and reddit.) We have also had to note, there were no plans with DX12, possibly in the wild (ala Windows Blue this September), these two GPU vendors would most assuredly know better than us.
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.
