came across a slide that claims Intel's Ivy Bridge will offer PCI Express 3.0 support:
Beyond PCI Express 3.0 the big news of Ivy Bridge is, of course, that it will be Intel’s first 22nm production CPU, other than the memory news, that is. We’ll see yet another new graphics core which will apparently bring support for DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 as well as improved video encode, decode and transcode support. We can also expect support for faster memory, although as always, Intel is being very conservative and only moves on to DDR3 1600MHz which seems to be a small step forward considering the platform is still almost a year away.
