AMD RS780 is 261% Faster Than AMD 690G in 3DMark06

[Frank M]

I don't understand why ppl so exited about integrated graphics. For the last two ears I'm using Gigabyte 7600GS Silent Pipe in my HTPC. And even two ears later it is still a way faster and better solution for Home Theater then a new RS780.

(You mean years, excited, then, etc, right? Cause if it's two ears later - then
does it matter how loud it is at all? )

For a HTPC this would be
1.) cheap
2.) low power consumption ->
3.) low heat dissipation ->
4.) quiet
5.) space-saving (your 7600 needs over a full-height PCI-slot, right?)

Also, if the lowest member in a hierarchy steps up to a next level, then the
ones above have to get better, too.
So what's not to like about this news?
