At IDF, we have just gotten word that Intel announced their latest Atom chipset. This is a 45nm chip that is capable of displaying 1080p video in the H.264 format and it can also handle 3D graphics. For everything else that you need to know, just check out the excerpt and link below.

The upgrade is such that it should be one of the first SoCs capable of handling streaming video in Adobe's Flash 10.

Three models begin the lineup, all of which are clocked at 1.2GHz and consume between seven and nine watts of power. As the base model, the CE4100 lacks most video options and has a basic 200MHz graphics core. The CE4130 adds the full complement of AV, and the CE4150 gets a 400MHz core for more demanding tasks. Every chip has its own flash memory controller as well as built-in controllers for input and output, like SATA II and USB 2.0.

Intel hasn't said when CE4100-equipped devices will ship or named hardware customers, but Flash 10 for the platform should be ready sometime in the first half of 2010.
