We told you it would be a short article. However, we think the results today should provide a better indication to each platforms power requirements with a variety of CPUs likely to end up in these boards and applications that tend to stress those sa...
Okay I need to wrap up this article. What I left out in this review was the fact that the embedded GPU in the mainboard also is an excellent HD UVD video decoder (Avivo HD functionality). Before ending my tests I did quickly inserted a HD-DVD (yeah I ...
Would we recommend the 780G? Provided you don’t want to play games then the answer is a big ‘Yes’. If your gaming requirements are modest, the answer is less clear as you’ll need a graphics card and there’s nothing to stop yo...
Abstract: Als Bindeglied zwischen Prozessor, Speicher und sämtlichen anderen Bestandteilen eines PCs stand der Chipsatz bislang nicht im Fokus der meisten Anwender. Mit AMDs 780G-Chipsatz für den Sockel AM2+ sollte sich das ändern. Denn er stellt eine neue Gener...
The 4850e X2 CPU does what it is designed to do, namely bring the performance and features of the 4800 X2 into the 45W maximum power draw domain. From a performance point of view this new CPU is in line with the 4800+ X2 with similar performance across...
Abstract: AMD 780G Performance and Overclocking PreviewEver since it was launched last year, we’ve been huge fans of AMD’s 690G chipset. The chipset delivered best-in-class integrated graphics performance, outrunning rival chipsets from Intel and N...
Excellent price/performance ratio, Sets new standard for integrated GPU performance, Crossfire functionality
SB700 southbridge SATA performance still lags Intels ICH9
AMDs 780G is the new standard that Intel and NVIDIA will have to try to equal or exceed in 2008. I still believe the G33 is the appropriate comparison point for the 780G, given the similarity in board prices and the cost-sensitive nature of this end o...
Great high-definition feature set, Includes hardware Blu-ray decode, Extremely low power consumption
Hybrid Crossfire pretty pointless in practice
Quiet, compact and yet extremely capable. Thats the recipe for a great home theatre PC. Getting hold of the right ingredients is another matter, however. Especially if pricing is a sensitive issue for you.But what if there was a genuine HD-ready HTPC ...
Abstract: On Tuesday AMD launched its latest platform for the AM2 and AM2+ CPUs, the 780 chipset. Its big selling point is integrated graphics that is more powerful than anything we've seen before and the inclusion of ATI's Universal Video Decoder (UVD) for offload...
