ASUS has just unveiled the M3A78 series motherboards, which sport the AMD 780G northbridge and the new SB700 southbridge.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Catering to users who are looking for a powerful device to create an excellent home entertainment environment, ASUS, worldwide leader in motherboard production, has released the new ASUS M3A78 series. The new ASUS M3A78 series utilizes the AMD platform, and is equipped with exceptional support for analog/digital outputs – enabling the PC to be utilized as a home theater in the living room, and not just a computing tool in the study or bedroom. The M3A78-EM also comes with DisplayPort, a cutting-edge digital output ready for users to upgrade their monitors in the near future. Moreover, the M3A78 Series adopts an advanced new power design to support 140W powered CPUs – providing users with more flexible choices on CPU upgrades.”

Both of these models offer some tremendous HTPC features, and would also be ideal for mid- to low-end systems. I can’t wait to see what tangible benefits (if any) the new SB700 southbridge provides.
