HotHardware.com evaluate the features and performance of AMD's new 780G Chipset with integrated graphics and the new low-power Athlon 64 4850e processor.

The 780G platform launching today combines the core logic expertise and graphics technology brought in from ATI with AMD's latest low-power Athlon X2, yielding a very fast, very inexpensive platform that won't rack up a substantial energy tab. Additionally, the chipset supports a new feature called Hybrid Graphics=97a Vista-only capability that harnesses the power of an add-in card, combines it with the integrated engine, and gives you a CrossFire-like experience at a price point so low that AMD doesn't want to call it CrossFire. Sounds like just the ticket for cost-conscious gamers eager to hang with the big boys.
