however, by all account's the internal Intel Encode/Decoder is more a collection of basic fixed function and full collection of DSP's with a limited related re-programmability, much like the OMAP 4/5 ARM SOC design.
not as good as say simply sticking a bulk purchased state of the art 1.5GHz Achronix FPGA (apparently priced at ASIC prices to compete today) http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-n...artup-Achronix
on there somewhere and charging the end user a few quid more to cover the initial cost's, but far better long term than any fixed function ASIC today as you can just sell add-on functionality and fix found bugs with a simple BIOS/board FPGA update, but apparently that's to expensive and to far an innovative jump for some people in 2011/12, they do love their ASIC markets
