They are supposed to be released within the next month but we'll see how good they'll actually be. It is sounding right now like all they're adding is native USB 3.0, though the motherboards themselves may be better. So yeah wait and see as everything else.
Oh, and I do recommend AMD RAM given the low CAS latency and that they are low profile, and the 2nd round of QC they get. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820103008
if you can find it there of course.

With AMD as far as RAM goes, "LOWER" timings are where RAM shines with an AMD CPU, with Intel it is not as important, I have seen an Intel CPU (3820) take a junk kit of RAM, and make it perform like a more expensive kit of RAM..
.
Good RAM (with the lowest timings you can get) for AMD motherboard CPU combos is the way to go, and from what I have seen this is the case with Bulldozer as well, not just Denebs or Thubans, so anyone that tells you that whatever RAM kit is no better than the other, then they are incorrect.. With two RAM kits at the same MHZ, the kit (dual channel) with the lower timings will perfom better with AMD.. PERIOD.
I have a set of old DDR3 1333MHZ G-Skill RAM at (7-7-7-21) that was fantastic, and i'm currently running Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz at 1808Mhz at almost stock timings, and I can say without a doubt that i'm performing better than someone I know running 1800Mhz
at (9-9-9-24) timings... Some people say RAM doesn't matter, not true.. Quantity matters to a point, but quality "ALWAYS" matters.
.
Lower timings with higher MHZ is better.(check to see what your memory controller on your CPU can handle) If you can get a CAS-7 kit over a CAS-9 or higher Kit at the same MHZ, that's the way to go. (lower timings)
Your system will be a bit more snappy, some people might say they don't see a difference, but I know better, as long as you have the CPU, GPU, and motherboard to handle the job, you will notice a difference when gaming, maybe not an Earth shaking experience, but just wait until the screen is filled with particles, smoke, fire, exlposions, and lasers (watch here comes a comment about the GPU), you will notice.
If you buy a bidget kit of RAM expect budget performance, that is unless you run an Intel CPU, then it's buyer beware..
.
F.Y.I., 32gb of RAM is overkill at the moment... LOL

Taking this into consideration what do you make of the following two RAM:
AMD: CL 8 / timing 8-9-8 / voltage 1.65V
G.SKILL: CL 7 / timing 7-8-8-24 / voltage 1.5V
The AMD has a second round of quality control and has a lower profile. The G.Skill has lower timing and voltage.
I tend to the G.Skill stick. Will have to check how it works with an aftermarket cooler because of its higher profile.
), and I've never had a reliability or compatibility problem across many, many kits I've used in many builds for many people.
