Att AMD är så bra till HTPC beror framförallt på moderkorten. Där det inbyggda grafikkortet är det absolut kraftfullaste som släppts som inbyggt, sen drar AMD:s moderkort mindre ström än Intels också.

"The wattmeter verified that the 780G-based system achieved a new power consumption record. Previously, only our own Solar Powered PC had been this frugal in the lab."

"the 780G system would peak at 95W"

Toms provkörde det moderkortet med en Sempron 64 3200+, alltså betydligt klenare processor än 4850e 45W. Citat:

"1080p Full-HD playback at a resolution of 1920x1080 doesn’t pose any problem whatsoever for the CPU when running PowerDVD 7.3. We played back the James Bond movie Casino Royale form a Blu-Ray disc on an LG GCC-H20L drive. We measured the average CPU load of the Sempron 64 3200+ to be 63.13% during playback, with short peaks reaching up to 90%."
