Good point, but there seems to be unamimous consent that BD release is between June7 to the 15th, in or around CBit. If thats wrong, then thats going against all we know so far. Will it be a announced release with no silicon...that would really suck also. We know with some non-fake screenies from China that 990 boards do exist. It possible also they will have silicon out w/o 990 release for the current AM3+ MB's? Thats pure speculation on my part.

I believe there won't be a large performance hit with BD running in AM3+ current crop of MB's!

I'm sure we would see board leaks with current cpu's......at the very minimum.

AMD made it quite clear that any support on older boards they have nothing to do with.
