Apparently there's only one in existence, the Sabertooth 990FX Gen3 R2.0 which came out back in 2013:
SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0 - Overview
I recently purchased a Samsung 950 PRO NVMe 512GB M.2 drive, along with a Lycom DT-120 adapter to use in my older Asus M5A97 R2.0 motherboard, which uses PCIe 2.0. I verified from a fellow user that this will work; however, I will not be getting the full 20Gb/s data transfer rate.
The Gigabyte GA-990X-Gaming SLI (rev. 1.0) "claims" that it can do up to 20Gb/s (they put in the ad a * which indicates this is 'theoretical') on a board that only has PCIe 2.0:
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-990X-Gaming SLI (rev. 1.0)
First, I think the Gigabyte page above will mislead people to believe that getting the full 20Gb/s on a PCIe Gen2 x4 M.2 will be possible on this board. I could be wrong. Can anyone verify this?
I've seen some AMD FM2+ motherboards that have PCIe 3.0, but my understanding is that the AM3+ processors are far superior. Can anyone verify this for me, as well?
The biggest question I have is, are there any other AM3+ motherboards out there that have PCIe 3.0? Or are there going to be any coming out in the near future? If not, this may have convinced me to go with an Intel board/processor for my next upgrade.
