AMD 780G & Athlon X2 4850e (ECS A780GM-A) review

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 and
the CPU with the mainboard will cost around $160. I have been testing
a system for a little over a week now with the new 780G chipset and
the 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 an
entry level PC, HTPC or an occasional gamer, its really good. It
comes with everything integrated, up-to a HDMI port. Definitely check
this article out.
