    I didn't think certainly not could mean not certain in any context, but this isn't my native language so what do I know.

    There's no chance AMD would go for backwards compatibility with Komodo, the AM socket series needs a replacement (and it has very little or nothing to do with DDR4).
    AMD didn't go for maximum backwards compatibility with Zambezi because it would hamper the performance potential, and I seriously doubt AMD will be so much ahead of the competition a year from now, that they don't need every performance improvement they can get.

    Todays server chips aren't that different from desktop, the channels are two from each die = 4 (something that will most likely change in the future).
    C32, G34 and AM3 all uses quite similar chips, although not identical.
