AMD 990FX chipset is PCI Express 2.0 compliant. Except Asus Sabertooth 990FX/Gen3 R2.0 mainboard, there is no PCI Express 3.0 mainboard by AMD!
Intel is planning to build new PCI Express 4.0 compliant mainboards at the last quarter of 2015 this year.
If AMD do not wish/need to ready a PCI Express 3.0 mainboard for high segment, this means that, they will not ready any PCI Express 4.0 chipset nor mainboard. So this means, if AMD can not jump to a lower level branch, they can not possibly reach to a higher level.
AMD is dying. Again, if they can not reach enthusiasts, they can not earn much money. Low level APU's are not much profitable. This means, they are close to high profit marge.
Sooner or later, they will close the shop! Their graphics card serie is not so good. This 2014 summer and the earlier 2013 summer, AMD did not managed to release a new graphics driver for 3-4 months. nVidia released 2 or more at the summer period for gamers.
If you have lately bought an AMD graphics card, all summer long in 2 years, you couldn't manage to load a new driver for your graphics card, which is a bad thing!
AMD graphics cards are working louder, compared with same level nVidia counterpart.
Shortly, AMD is no longer a good choice at all....
