AMD recently released their AMD 780G mainboard chipset & Athlon X2 4850e processor. A good moment to see what this new chipset can offer. Guru3D took the all new 780G based ECS A780GM-A mainboard. The AMD 780G chipset features integrated DirectX 10 compliant graphics and a wealth of other features. That said, 780G and Athlon X2 4850e performed well.
Especially so when you consider that the CPU retails for only $89 andthe CPU with the mainboard will cost around $160. I have been testinga system for a little over a week now with the new 780G chipset andthe Athlon X2 4850e. I have to say, I am pretty impressed with the system. Its not the power horse a heavy gamer would want, but for anentry level PC, HTPC or an occasional gamer, it's really good. It comes with everything integrated, up-to a HDMI port. Definitely check this article out.
