DOes anyone have any real life experience with the new 45w chips from AMD? I'd love a little info before i hit the order button for my new rig.

I'm considering this chip basically for the low power consumption features, but any test I've seen is solely based on pairing it with a 780G chipset for HTPC use.

Does anyone have any experience using it a casual gaming rig, for example compared to a 5200+ or 5600+ ? I'm assuming it should perform perfectly fine!?

X2 4850e performs fine in light gaming. I am using one one 780G board. No troubles at all. Most games are more GPU demanding though.
