From an ARS Technica story:

Linux 3.15, expected to be released in mid-2014, "will feature a large number of ACPI and power management updates" and allow Linux-based computers to suspend and resume faster, Phoronix reported today.

'Visible to users with the Linux 3.15 kernel should be reduced time for system suspend and resuming, thanks to the enabling of more asynchronous threads,' the article said, pointing to a list of changes posted by Rafael Wysocki, an Intel employee who maintains the Linux kernel's core power management code. Basic support for Nvidia's Maxwell architecture is also in the works for Linux 3.15.

    That sounds to me like they replaced your motherboard with a faulty one, i.e. bad hardware. I have been suspending and resuming for more than five years now with no issues. Well except when they changed something in the kernel and I had to change something in order to wake from a key press.
