PIMPin'. Intel Poulsbo docs reveal 1080i HD video support for MIDs.

I was taking a look at the promotional PDF for the CoreExpress Atom-based Single Board Computer [Lippert] on Friday evening and couldn't help noticing the very impressive video playback rates that are presented. The video playback figures seem to be far better than any embedded graphics co-processor has achieved in a small form factor pc to-date and they appear to be better than any dedicated PMP has been able to achieve too. As far as I can tell, it's even better than Apple TV. Over the weekend I've been doing a little more research and sure enough, the figures are confirmed in official Intel documentation.
