I've read on a few blogs and sites that Steamroller will be AM3+ based while Excavator will be the new platform which adds things like PCIe 3.0 controller, DDR4 support, tripple channel memory and god knows what else. I know it's not official, but rumblings are that AM3+ will get another chip out from AMD.

I don't think so but we'll see.

AMD might not even survive to 2014 given the financials.

Someone needs to explain this mornings AMD's stock market performance to me... After last nights earnings, sense, this makes none.
