I am in the process of selection of new AMD products (CPU & Mobo)

And I am wondering if there are any new chipsets in the near future, I recently read that there maybe a 1xxx series of chipsets coming, but the read didn't say when.

And also will the Piledriver cpu have a different socket?

Thanks in advance..

A simple search would have told you the answers you seek

-------------------------
Crosshair IV Formula, Phenom II x4 965 w/ Corsair H60, 8 GiB OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600, XFX HD 7970 Ghz, 512GB Vertex 4, 256GB Vector, 240GB Agility 3, Creative X-Fi Titanium w/ Creative Gigaworks S750, SeaSonic X750, HP ZR2440w, Win 7 Ultimate x64

10XX series chipsets will be released eventually. Thing is they are not bringing anything more to the table then the 990FX already has. Thus far... Nothing has been said really, you'd be better off googling it. I suppose I could do all the work for you though. No PCI-E 3.0 , No native 3.0USB support last time I read although that might have changed.
