Won't happen because Intel won't tell us how to initialize that hardware. So just stay away.
I was not aware.
and similar AMD's latest.
Support for AMD Fam 14h just got added a few days ago. There are only two AMD boards that are currently supported. It's a very new product, so we don't have the boards (yet?).
So finally I like to know do these newer CPU's any motherboard going to be supported in near future, So I will purchase that motherboard.
Your board will be supported if you do the port yourself, or are lucky enough to have the same board as someone who has already ported (is doing the port).
I'm working on the VIA VX900, so you could expect that to be supported in a couple of months (or earlier, depending on how difficult the chipset is).
I want to find it out as it will be difficult to change hardware than software later. Please suggest which CPU/motherboard combination is good with coreboot.
What do you want to do with your computer? For HTPC, VIA Nano is pretty good. For regular desktop, we have a few good AM3 boards supported. For workstation/server, you can get your hands dirty, get a single/dual-socket G34 board, and start porting. We have most infrastructure code for that, so it shouldn't be too hard. :)
I wanted general purpose regular desktop for programming, internet, GNU/Linux with common servers dovecote, tomcat, apache etc
And someone wiser may give you a more complete answer.
