Last year, in a bit of an odd move, the 990/950 AMD AM3+ motherboards built for the Bulldozer CPUs were released a few months ahead of the CPUs themselves, and the 990 AM3+ boards were roundly reviewed. About the same time that talk and speculation about the release of the second generation Piledriver CPUs was being discussed, there were rumors of a new 1090/1050 chipset that would accompany the new release. The new chipset did not come to fruition, whether it was actually never on the map or pure speculation from the get go nobody seems to know, but It does bring the 990FX motherboards back into play with what initially appears to be a successful release of the Vishera Piledriver CPUs.
