It was the other way around, AM3 came first.

AMD knew what was needed in the server sockets in order to make them support BD.
Their 800 chipsets was launched pretty much at the same time, in retrospect it looks they had a reason, and a chance, to launch AM3+ with the new chipsets last year.
But it seems like AMD realized the AM3+ needed even more changes a bit too late for a 2010 launch.
