This is all well and good, but where's the comparison with AMD? Surely they should see how a low power Athlon X2 (e.g. 4050e) with 780G chipset compares!
Comparing this Intel setup with an AMD's offering will make it even more interesting like the one used in this article, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/amd- [...] 6-21.html. Instead of using Phenom 9600@95w B2 processor, use something like Athlon X2 4850e 2.5ghz 45w processor. The setup using Phenom 9600 consume 58w on idle. This is way over to be compared to this artcles setup but with Athlon X2 4850e, probably it will be on par. And if so, mind you that you'll have a lot more latest feature, ample horsepower at 2.5ghz, way better video/3d performance and upgrade paths. I would love to see reviews comparing both setup.
780G! Compare! Please!
Have a Foxconn and a Gigabyte G31. I don't need all the features of the more expensive chipsets and purchase task specific discrete GPUs.
The Foxconn runs a htpc, cool and almost silent, the Gigabye runs an overclocked desktop / gaming pc. Both are very effective and cost effective solutions.
I have had problems with the interrupt handling with the Foxconn board but found their technical support to be prompt and informative.
The Gigabyte board's memory dividers mean that I had to use pretty good quality RAM, but otherwise no complaints for under £40 delivered each.
