I think AMD should release the AM4 socket soon, to fix all those issues.

From what i am hearing. Piledriver has both DDR3 and DDR4 IMC on it and AMD is waiting for DDR4 comes out before they use PCI-E 3.0.

true the am3+ cannot be considered to go versus the extreme edition of intel!but aside from the hardcore ,not many need the extreme!
so i dont thing it is an issue.amd could always release a new socket and make an extreme edition socket like a am3x

Yeah, but we'd need an extreme edition CPU to go with it....

If computer companies had to buy new stock, prices wouldn't be competitive. (Competitive as in marginally cheaper)

Single/Dual/Triple channel is a marketing gimmick.

Not having PCI-e 3.0 is really just a bummer if nothing else.

This.
