Only $139...not too shabby.
Who's gonna be first to post some numbers?

I wish there was something interesting to put it into. I'd like to see a budget board with decent onboard graphics with low power requirements in an LGA 775 flavor. Something like a 780G or GeForce 8200 integrated graphics.
If I understand correctly, a recent, modest card like an HD 2400 Pro or GeForce 8400GS has higher power requirements than the similar-spec 780G or GeForce 8200 integrated graphics. Right? To make matters worse, 775 motherboards without onboard graphics at all, into which you'd place one of these modest video cards, don't seem to come in microATX flavor.
In short, it's cheaper, simpler and more elegant to build a low-power computer with decent graphics using an AMD board. Or am I missing something?

say no further, i consider putting together dp31 or future dg43,45,41, and 7200 intel's own crowd, bsel 333 modded for 3150mhz, and hope voltage is enough. beacuse the motherboard is not oc friendly. i'm not worried about idle power because this cpu runs cool, it will not cool more than 5watts idle if undervolted, no point either. an when loaded it will get all it can take from 3Ghz cpu, that's plenty and superior.

Fly Creek is based on the G45 chipset, with DVI+HDMI, 1x PCI-E , 8.1 sound, digital out...."expected to make an appearance at the end of Q2 this year...Intel expects them to cost in the $100-$150 range to distribution."
"Our sources have told us that the Intel G45 is suffering growing pains. The current revision is locked at a 667MHz GPU core speed and the VC1/H.264 decoder capabilities are turned off. A new revision will be available in July with the 800MHz GPU core speed and VC1/H.264 decoder capabilities turned on. In essence, the first chipsets (if they are available) will be nothing more than a G35+. We will update this information as we receive additional i
information." - source
Of course there are motherboards like Asus P5N-EM HDMI for Intel platform. It comes with a GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i chipset, but nForce 630i has no nVidia PureVideo support.
Once G45s with competitive decoding capabilities are released in Q3 or later, Intel will be more competitive in this department. But AMD will still be cheaper and more elegant.

It depends what you want, but in short, yes. AMD has superior platform atm, especially when it comes to hardware decoding. But frankly Intel doesn't need that hardware support as much, because their processors are so much faster.amyhughes wrote:In short, it's cheaper, simpler and more elegant to build a low-power computer with decent graphics using an AMD board.
