    PCI Express 3.0

    I just saw that a few months ago MSI launched an Intel motherboard (reportedly World's first?) that implements the brand new PCI Express 3.0, through the Intel Z68 chipset, which doubles the bandwidth of the current PCI Express implementations.

    Does anyone know when will AMD put out a chipset to support it too?

    Anyway... trolling (err.. read "searching", trolling is a bad term I hear) around the internet I found rumours that the next generation of AMD GPUs (HD 7000?) will be "PCI-E 3.0 Compliant"... I wonder if that means that they will be just standard PCI-E 2.x running on a 3.0 slot or will they really make use of the full potential (and bandwidth) of PCI-E 3.0?

    Let the discussion begin!
