Return to article to continue reading.OH SNAP! Dennis Achterberg with MSI's Product Marketing is calling out Gigabyte on their claim that all of the Gigabyte 6 series boardssupport native PCIe Gen3...
I see they have something about Intel specifications. As far as PCIe Intel can say all they want but the fact is PCI-sig sets the standard not Intel alone. From the article I would say MSi is confused because they don't even know where the spec comes from.
I am not saying that those specs are not correct just that calling it Intel Gen3 specification is wrong and those specs may differ.

We know very well where the specs are coming from, but before claiming "Gen3 enabled" on your products, you must first pass verification from Intel for its future 22nm CPUs.
If it was written in text on the slide it would say something like: "Intel requires a certain number of components before a mainboard can comply with the PCI express Gen3 standard, here is what Intel needs for socket 1155 boards"
That's also the factual basis on which we can claim that other boards will not comply since they simple don't meet the specs&requirements .
Perfect. I've got a copy in case someone wants it and it disappears.The article hasn't been pulled, the URL has been copy-pasted wrong:

It's dubious marketing on both sides, really.
MSI as they don't mention that gbt's first 8x really will (most likely) work at full PCIe3.0), gigabyte for claiming full compliance.
EDIT: Are you saying that even if they perform at gen 3 speeds and meet all of the SIG requirments it is not gen 3 because Intel does not say so? Perhaps I should say it can not be 3.0 because "Intel requires a certain number of components before a mainboard can comply with the PCI express Gen3 standard, here is what Intel needs for socket 1155 boards"? The SIG is not Intel. The Sig sets the standards not Intel or MSi.
Who? what ports etc?[/quote]Are they in full compliance with the 3.0 standard for all ports? It does not look like it at this point.
I guess so and thanks.So you must work for msi then
Neliz, you are a part of MSI, correct?
Who? what ports etc?
GB PCIe ports/slots.
I am personally looking forward to the much needed 3.0 spec. With all the lane sharing and switching and potential bottle necks for some of us who use more than the x16 slot and are rather heavy on the SATA and USB use.
Just heard from our local gigabyte's representative that GB HQ is planning to launch a legal action soon.
