  “For the price we can't fault what AMD has done with its 780G chipset – it has a winning platform when you combine one of its Energy Efficient processors with an AMD 780G-based motherboard (and even a Radeon HD 3000-series graphics card if you need it). It's an absolute must buy for any home theatre enthusiast.”

  “Of course, the 780G as we tested it today is made all the more impressive by AMD’s Athlon X2 4850e processor. We’re not entirely bowled over by the new naming convention; however, the chip dishes out the performance at 2.5 GHz and still manages to duck in under 45W. Throughout testing, the CPU’s cooler never spun up beyond the speed it started at boot. Don’t forget that you’ll see even bigger gains from the 780G if you spend a little more and pair it up with a Phenom chip. The faster HyperTransport connection gives the Radeon HD 3200 integrated graphics engine significantly more bandwidth, which turns into markedly better benchmark numbers.”

• TechWareLabs: New AMD 780G Chipset and Low Power 4850e Processor Review:
  
  

  “The 780G offers a compelling new reason for consumers to select AMD to power their next machine. not only does 780G provide a greater degree of expansion and connectivity options but the onboard graphics is now capable of allowing users to play games that were previously unavailable due to low performance. Pair the 780G with the new 4850e processor by AMD and you have a low energy use, high performance, and yet silent solution which can easily fit into your living room to power all of your entertainment needs.”
