AMD Zambezi news, info, fans !

Indeed. Also "Higher Memory Support" of up to 1866 MHz sounds funny with having this support on 1st generation Zambezi FX already.

Sure, that's funny.

Edit: obviously not very up-to-date slide, there is no native PCI-E 3.0 or USB 3.0 either

Should be up-to-date, as the previous plan was to release an IGP-less Piledriver-based chip named Komodo on FM2. It was only recently replaced by this Piledriver on AM3+ one. (AFAIK it's called Wishera.)

Edit: alternatively, it was a plan B from way back...

I not only notice the integer performance increase(like Phenom to Llano) but more important is the FMA3 support which is only support on Haswell with Intel plan!

So, "bdver2" is indeed Piledriver, not Steamroller, then... (?)
Dresdenboy was wrong here, it seems: http://citavia.blog.de/2010/10/21/si...llano-9726240/

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.

1. You're speaking of Komodo, but it seems that's delayed or even canceled...
2. Piledriver will come first with Trinity 2012Q2 (on FM2).
3. Seems they are releasing a Piledriver-based chip for the AM3+ owners, as well, so that platform won't last a few months only...
But, to design a brand new chipset, as well? Not worth it.
4. Perhaps FM2 will support those feats.
