And when are we possibly looking at the release of said chipset?

Depends on how many DMI lanes there are, I'm short on time so haven't looked it up but IIRC a single DMI 3 lane supports 8 gigatransfers per second so a bottleneck would depend on how many lanes there are and what you're putting through it, I'd probably be more worried about latency than transfer speeds though.
