Can someone explain why no USB-3 support on X79.

 

[paperwastage]

probably similar reasons for the SandyBridge chipsets. lightpeak... and other reasons

and mobo manufacturers will add their own USB3 chips

Looks more like an X68-class chipset (to me, anyway).
Plus: no mention of Thunderbolt/Light Peak support, which is already included on the latest Apple MacBook Pro.

If this is another April fools post I will not be happy.

SAS support = suspect.

It would be nice if that were true. 15k drives in a R0 would be sweet.

Yea, but the Bulldozer Aprils fools slide is already making rounds.

No mention of QPI interconnect - which is the key interface on SNB-E. Some vague discussion about dedicated storage PCIe lanes, which sounds like nonsense and irrelevant, as QPI has so much bandwidth that it's difficult to use it all on a single CPU system.

Looks like shens to me.

It looks suspicious to me. I've read there'll be LGA1356 as well with triple-channel RAM. Also that LGA2011 is also the server platform and that the chipset(s) will be used for both that and desktop.
