New GPUs are due out this year, but I have concerns with PCIe2.0 beibg a bottleneck along with the already habdicapped cache on the fx chips.

HBM/Stacked DRAM and Huge GPU will require a mess of memory I/O.

The plan was to dump the rest of the module design, per new ceo abd return to conventional cores (serialized cores vs parallel cores etc). These Chip were due to be test in 2015 and out in 2016. And it was stated that it would not retain the AM3 socket array.

the APUs were updated thru steamroller and excavator architectures, but with them being lower tdp parts the performance is still lacking, even with PCIe3.0 support.

Outside of PCIe3, there's DDR4, USB3TC, NEW SATA, m.2 SSD PORTS, New SPUs, etc.

The FX CPUs are no longer an Option without an updated chipset.
I refuse to go Low TDP FM2+,

I will look into my sources.
