While we usually wait for full reviews, we just had to show you what arrived today: AMD's new RS780 IGP and SB700 south bridge.

 

Looks like a good board

 

If the AVIVO support is up to scratch to play VC-1 and H.264 with next to no CPU usage then i won't need any discrete card for my HTPC. Now just for AMD to release a super low power dual core to go with it. otherwise it's probably gonna be better using the new VIA processor with a HD3450 if VIA actually make decent availability for boards with PCI Express slots that is.

 

nice looks good and the board also looks really clean and well laid out

 

this is indeed a very tempting proposal over 690 if only AMD cpus werent turd

 

w00t, this is striking the "time to upgrade" bell.

I've been waiting for a AM2+ mobo for my Lian-Li PCA01B for months now.

 

The AMD Black Edition CPUs are great for a low-noise low-power HTPC.
Coupled with this mobo I think it could be a winner.
