Not enough "Intel everywhere" for you? How about ? No, it isn't for set-top boxes or media PCs, but for actual TV processing. The new CE4100 chip can run at clock speeds of up to 1.2GHz and includes a display processor, a graphics processor, and a video display controller. It can decode two 1080p video streams simultaneously.

Support for hardware acceleration of Flash Player 10 video is expected in the first half of 2010, so HD YouTube on your connected TV will be a reality. OpenGL ES 2.0 standard support will provide 3D graphics, as well--and if you think picture-in-picture is annoying, just wait until your TV can run dozens of "widgets" to pump information all over the episode of Heroes you're trying to watch. Intel already has a chip for TVs and set-top boxes, the CE3100, but the CE4100 is a significant upgrade.
