Carrizo APUs will add AVX2, BMI2, MOVBE and RDRAND instructions, as well as TSX on some SKUs. The processors will come with a memory controller, that will work with DDR3 and DDR4 memory. The controller is going to support registered DIMMs and ECC, although these features might be enabled only on server and embedded products. The document does not state the maximum data rates for DDR4 memory, and the DDR3 rate depends on the socket. While the maximum rate is still 2400 MHz, a few new features, that should enhance general performance and power consumption of Carrizo processors. That includes support for new instructions and DDR4 memory, integration of the Fusion Controller Hub (FCH), and upgrade of general purpose PCI-Express interface to version 3.0.

After seeing AMD's roadmap... it make perfect sense for ASUS to release a ROG motherboard for the FM2+ socket. Because the FX CPUs are "End Of Life" and the 990FX Formula-Z will be the last AMD ROG with the FX chip-set which is 3 years old!
With more powerful Kaveri APUs scheduled for release in the 2014 year, as well as the next gen FM2+ APU code name Carizo for 2015, makes sense to have a ROG mobo released for the future AMD products and one upping the competition's FM2+ gaming boards e.g. MSI A88X-G45 Gaming mobo. Below is a little more info on the next gen FM2+ family APUs: CARIZO

most mainstream mobos dont even label being quad channel... you mostly find mobos with it on workstation or servers.
8 slots would give 2 sets of quad and 12 slots would give 3 sets.I believe Quad channel is 4 sets of 2, so 12 slots would be 6 sets of 2.
a good example is ASUS A88X-Pro it can have up to 64Gb over 4 slots but as you say you dont see 16Gb RAM and you need a minimum of 8 slots to make use of RAMDisk... ideally you would need minimum of 12 slots.Since when do we need 8 slots for using RAM Disk? a recommended minimum would be 16GB or even better 32GB, so no, 8 slots or even 12 slots would not be the minimum needed for RAM Disk software.

...As for the question about a ROG Rig for video editing/rendering, how are the Kaveri chips with that kinda workload? I haven't really seen anything about it yet...though i'm sure they won't work as well as Intel based rigs as pretty much most software is designed around Intel's CPU's and their instructions.

i am a veteran builder since the late 90s... I am planning to build a new rig based off the FM2+ Kaveri Processor. i am wondering if there will be a NEW ROG motherboards for the FM2+ platform?
