AMD has just received certification for two USB 3.0 chipsest Hudson, ahead of Intel, which should take care that this bus at the exit of its chips Ivy Bridge. The certifications will chip in Hudson D3 (AMD A75 FCH) for desktops and M3 (AMD A70M FCH) for laptops. (See "Three Hudson chipsets for AMD Llano) Llano They will decorate the platform that is expected for September 2011.
Taking a step back to the classic match Intel - AMD, VIA is who was the first manufacturer to have received such certification (see "The first controller is USB 3.0 certified"). Texas Instrument is also seeing some certified controllers, but as you have noticed, motherboards, hard drives and other products already offer USB 3.0, even without certification, which causes problems with images USB-IF.
The latter said that certifications are issued in order of arrival, but the fact that controllers ASMedia, Etron, Fresco Logic and VLI are already available or about to be marketed and that obtaining their certification to take as many time begins to remove some suspicions on the operations of the body.
There is a gap between what he certifies and what is available on the market, which could arise, in principle, problems of compatibility, even if the risk seems negligible.
