IDF 2007 : Intel G965 does H.264 hardware acceleration.... with a twist

[Steve]

Intel's G965 isn't particularly effective as the processor for the latest formats that use H.264, unlike the competition, so it's got Broadcom in on the act. It will release a x1 PCIe card with hardware-accelerated decode for H.264-encoded Blu-ray and HD-DVD, with the video outputted from G965 via HDMI/DVI (SDVO).

That's pretty cheeky!
