This is a North+South bridge in a single chip for the new Atom processor.
It claims H.264 HiP 1080i/30.
Note TVs (like my new one -- yes the first Sony quit also so I am now on
my 4th HD TV :-/) are 1080p/24 and 1080p/30 but the output from 1080i/30
on a video board is going to be 1080p/30 even if it isn't de-interlaced.
Blu-Ray disks from film are 24p (from video they are 30p). So, this
would be OK for everything but Blu-Ray disks.
Maximum pixel clock is 112 MHz for LVDS and 160 MHz for VGA/HDMI (SVDO
port) which requires an additional chip.
Display size appears to be limited by maximum frame buffer of 8MBytes
which is what is needed for 16:9 1920x1080. It is not really clear how
the display format is programed. I think that you set it once in ROM
which is suitable for a flat panel with digital interface. It isn't
clear about exactly what kind of VGA compatibility is available.
Like all complex products, you need a user guide -- the data sheet isn't
sufficient. I doubt that this has been published yet.
2 1x PCIe (Is this an x2 connection?)
USB
DDR2
IDE/ATA Ultra DMA 100/66/33 are supported.
There is also a processor:

which could be used for an X server on a board.
