AM3 is probably dead (and its about time too).

I doubt they would come out and say it, as it would limit sales of AM3+ systems even more. But just compare- we have heard loads of stuff about Kaveri, the new APU system. Have we heard anything about an AM3+/AM4 CPU only platform to replace Vishera? Is there even a codename?

Isn't kaveri much closer than a steamroller FX even if it was a different socket?

That pic is pretty damning though. But it is also more than a year old. Would you mind posting the link to that?
