Source : PC InpactRenesas Technology announced a miniscule chip able to decode Full HD (1080p). With a size of 6,4 X 6,5 mm it consumes only 342 MW and runs at the frequency of 500 MHz.
It is intended to be installed in cellphones or mp3 players. Admittedly, their screen do not have this capability, but one can imagine, with the rise of the power and the memory capacity, that Apple could propose, one day in the future, an iPhone or an iPod Touch able to output Full HD to connect on our television sets and there to view the videos bought on the iTunes Store.
