Industry sources have whispered that Clarkdale, Intel's upcoming 32nm dual-core notebook CPU with a 45nm graphics core sitting next to it can play good HD. When it comes to HD acceleration Core i3 and Core i5 – Clarkdale will be able to cope with Full AVC hardware decode, Full VC-1 HW decode, Full MPEG 2 hardware decode as well as Dual Video Decode.
