AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the availability of the industry’s most advanced motherboard GPU, the AMD 780 Series, delivering a rich computing experience for casual gamers and multimedia enthusiasts as the core of quiet and energy-efficient PC designs. When paired with an AMD Phenom™ 9000 series quad-core processor or Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core processor, the AMD 780 Series delivers significant enhancements in gaming and high-definition experiences for mainstream PC customers. The AMD 780 Series motherboard GPU is scheduled to be widely available from more than 40 AMD partners at launch. Global OEMs are expected to offer AMD 780 Series-based PCs starting in Q2 2008.

What is possibly the most interesting feature of the new 780G is the inclusion of what AMD is calling "Hybrid Graphics". Read our review of this chipset and the new 4850e processor here (http://www.techwarelabs.com/reviews/processors/780g-and-4850e).
