AM2+ mATX moderkort? När kommer dom.

Om du är desperat efter att lira Phenom på ett mATX kort hävdar Gigabyte att kortet i min signatur ska kunna hantera en sådan problemfritt, dock ej testat pga akut brist på Phenom i mitt "stall" .. :(.

"Last year, in Jan 2007, AMD/ATi has a successful launch of their integrated DX9 graphics core, the RS690. The chipset performed well and had a good head start against it's competitor the NVIDIA MCP68 series. In fact, the RS690 or AMD 690G has created a miracle in 2007 as one of the most successful integrated chipsets for the AM2 platform.

In 2008, the same is about to repeat with the introduction of the AMD RS780 or AMD 780G in China on the 23rd of January (other regions will be in March). Although it will be introduced earlier, drivers won't be ready till February to support Hybrid CrossFire X."

"We tested two HD-DVD discs, the first is the The Bourne Supremacy and the second disc is the HQV HD Test Disc. Both titles are encoded in VC-1 format playback using XBOX HDDVD drive.

Results

With the disc Bourne Supremacy, we were able to get a pretty low CPU utilization of around 15%. This was never possible with older generation of IGP.

With the HQV HD disc, the CPU utilisation is even lower, we achieved an average of 9%. That is under 10%.

With this low CPU utilisation, the CPU can be offloaded to handle other tasks. That would also indicate that you do not really need a very powerful CPU to power up your HTPC."

"In 3Dmark06, The PA78GT3 based on RS780 also far surpasses that of the AMD 690G board M2A692-GDG. The increase is almost 3x. Percentage difference is 261%. That is an enormous leap in performance for IGP chipsets."
