Despite the fact that the chipset 990FX and 970, on which are based motherboards for processors in the performance of AM3 +, not even half a year , AMD is already working on their successors. So, next year at their 990FX and 970 chipsets will come 1090FX and 1070 respectively, the first details of which have become known recently.
The most interesting feature of the AMD 1090FX, in comparison with its predecessor, will support USB 3.0 natively, rather than through third-party controllers. Unfortunately, the number of ports, USB 3.0, implemented by means of the chipset, not reported, but given that the A75 provides four such connectors, it is hoped that AMD 1090FX provide work at least as a smaller number of ports.
Another interesting feature of AMD 1090FX - Support for up to eight ports SATA 6 Gb / sec. For comparison, the Intel X79 chipset provides the only two ports SATA revision 3.0. Finally, the new chipset will support AMD 32 lines of interface PCI Express, which will be divided equally between the two slots for video cards. Supporting AMD CrossFireX technology and Nvidia's SLI, of course, also be present.
As for the chipset 1070, he, unfortunately, will not support the technology to USB 3.0, and more PCI Express lanes will be curtailed, but the promised support of the same eight-port SATA 6 Gb / sec. It is also reported that neither AMD 1090FX, or AMD 1070 will not support an interface PCI Express 3.0.
