Intel GPU Larrabee has two HD decoders

@ 2009/07/27
WORD HAS REACHED our tender ears that Larrabee, the upcoming Intel GPU, will not be quite as generalist as they claim. The fixed function parts will be two HD decoders.

This addition seems like a last minute thing, so it is probably pulled from Intel's existing IP catalog. The most likely candidate seems to be the G45 decoders, they are small, low power, and have (finally) decent drivers. Then again, does area really matter in a 700+mm^2 chip?
