VIA announces new netbook media processor that decodes full 1080p HD video. Among the biggest wishes netbook users have for improvements are more performance and the ability to play HD video. The first crop of netbooks that features the Intel Atom N270 lacked the capability for hardware 1080p video decoding. The Intel Atom N280 and its chipset can support 720p hardware decoding for HD video. NVIDIA announced its Ion platform that uses an Intel Atom CPU bundled with one of its GPUs to decode full 1080p video, but at this time no Ion netbooks have hit market. VIA has announced a new Media System Processor (MSP) today called the VX855 that offers among its features the ability to decode full 1080p video. VIA says that the processor supports multiple video standards including H.264, MPEG-2/4, DivX and WMV9 and can play the formats in high bit rates in 1080p resolution.
