Let's not get side tracked here folks...

This thread is a vote on a Steamroller CPU as defined above, NOT a wish list of what you'd like from AMD.

As far as DDR4, PCIe 3.0, quad channel RAM, etc., I and others have noted for close to a year, that DDR4, quad channel RAM and PCIe 3.0 bring absolutely nothing tangible to the performance table nor will they for years to come, so let's just stay on track with the original premise of a ~15% performance increase over Vishera on a clock-for-clock basis at essentially the same price as Vishera, plugging directly into an AM3+ socket mobo. That's the question for AMD enthusiasts.

If you want to debate the other technologies or comparisons to Intel CPUs, please start a new thread of your own for that purpose.

If you don't currently own an AMD socket AM3+ mobo but you'd still buy a Steamroller to plug into an AM3+ mobo then you should pick option #3.
