Not satisfied with simply introducing a new platform that’s more diminutive than the already tiny Mini-ITX, VIA has stepped in with an all new media system processor that aims to bring power efficiency to 1080p-capable systems. The VX855 MSP offers up hardware-based H.264 video acceleration in a staggeringly small, highly integrated single chip package with an ultra low TDP of 2.3 watts. The unit is slated to be Windows 7-ready and support leading video standards including H.264, MPEG-2/4, VC-1 and WMV9. The main purpose — outside of handling 1080p — is to take the load away from the typically weak CPU found in netbooks and nettops.
