AMD has slated November 2009 as the month that they will begin mass production of their 8 series chipsets.
The new RD890 chipset is poised to replace the RD790 and RS880D in January 2010, after they pass the engineering verification (EVT) and design verification tests (DVT). The RD890 will pair up with AMD’s quad-core AM3 processors in the high-end market, and will support DDR3 memory and HyperTransport 3.0.
Along with this, AMD is planning to launch their SB800 series of southbridges in January of next year.

AMD cihpsets don't care which memory is being used since the memory controller is in the CPU. If they are mentioning this as a feature, it must just be to avoid explaining to the average consumer how the motherboard is laid out.
