VIA VX900 Nettop Processor
VIA has officially introduced a new product called the VX900 graphics processor which can be coupled with a VIA low power CPU to provide HD Flash and desktop video playback. The VX900 media system processor uses VIA’s ChromationHD 2.0 video engine which supports hardware acceleration of H.264 video. That also includes Flash video if you’re using the Flash Player 10.1 beta, which can take advantage of hardware acceleration features. Furthermore, VIA says the new platform can handle 1080p HD video “without incurring a heavy CPU load.” Blu-Ray video playback is also supported, as is hardware acceleration for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV< and VC1.
The VX900 MSP supports DDR3 memory with speeds up to 1066MHz. And while VIA has been showing the media processor off with a Nano processor, it’s also compatible with VIA C7 and VIA Een chips.
