The new Sandy Bridge processors will have a secure layer built into the hardware that will manage rights protected movies to be processed. These can be in true HD 1080p format and will ensure the plain text video cannot be accessed and thus copied. This will probably encourage the studios to stream movies to consumers. Intel has worked with Warner Brothers on this and have their backing. WB Show and Best Buy's CinemaNow has 300 movies already whose content will be streamed.
Combined CPU and GPU is another thing that is coming onto these chips. Wi-Di that supported up to 720p is upgraded to full 1080p. This technology lets pictures and video to be moved to the TV directly from the processor. Another feature, known as Quick Sync, lets video be reformatted to smartphone format. That visuals are increasingly the preferred medium becomes evident. You can see the moves across all processors, manufacturers improving video processing, managing the high computations needed.
