Re: [vdr] [OT] mini-PCIE with Broadcom Crystal HD Hardware Decoder (BCM970012) for HD playback with free drivers
As far as I understand Intel presented their new chips on CES show called Arrandale and Clarkdale. Both has integrated graphics accelerator and other things. Those will be based on i7, i5 and i3 cores. In addition to Atom based pineview chips that also include graphics accelerator. So now we have new options in case Atom will not provide enough juice. Lets hope they will also release Linux drivers for those chips.
