Intel just took the official wraps off their Canmore HDTV system on chip described as a "CE system and an Internet system." Available in the second half of 2008, it will feature a powerful PC-class processor core with "leading edge" A/V processing that can plan 1080p video and serve up 3-D graphics with 7.1 surround sound. Expect to see them in future set-top boxes, media players, and TVs.

Hopefully this will bring the price of those VIA systems down.

So why hasnt Xbox360 or PS3 functionality been integrated or licensed into HDTV's? If Sony hasn't seen the need for that?
I think this is overall good //competition .. increased choice etc. etc. .. but the fragmentation aspect is going to suck.
