Don't be an ARSE vario!

I don't make a note of every public statement by AMD or any other company and I'm not on this forum 24/7. I actually have a life.

If I recall it was at IDF when AMD meets with journalist that they stated that Steamroller would in fact plug into the AM3+ socket.

As far as USB 3.0, and PCIe 3.0, AMD mobos already have USB 3.0 and there is no need for PCIe 3.0 yet as the current GPUs can not saturate the X16 2.x PCIe lanes. DDR4 is also not needed now nor quad channel RAM because DDR3 RAM @ 1333 MHZ or higher does not create a system bottleneck, as testing proves.

PCIe 3.0 and DDR4 are industry standards that can be implimented when actually needed. The mobo makers hawking these technologies now are just duping technically illiterate consumers who don't know any better and don't bother to educate themselves. There is no performance advantage for desktop PC users in these technologies yet as system testing with real applications proves.

Node size has nothing to do with chipset design. We saw with Intel's great move from 32nm with Sandy Bridge to 22nm with Ivy Bridge they got a whopping ~5% performance gain and a hot running IB that OC's poorly. AMD on the otherhand stayed with 32nm and changed cores and got 10-20% improvements and lower power consumption with Vishera.

You obviously don't understand the technology very well so please don't go around insulting me or other people.
