Technically it might be possible to use the A75 FCH instead of the old SB850/950 to gain USB 3.0 but it doesn't solve the problem of PCI-E 2.0 in the aging Northbridge.

If those slides are legit, they can't be that old, since 2nd Gen Bulldozer was supposed to use socket FM2 and the change to stick to AM3+ was only recently.
My point is, do you really believe the next gen would not support PCI-E 3.0 and USB 3.0? Piledriver was originally planned for the second half of 2012 if I remember correctly, also PCI-E 3.0 wouldn`t be the part of a chipset anymore since it`s suppossed to be integrated into CPU.
