VIA's VX series of Media System Processors has been given a boost this week with the announcement of the VX900 chip, which brings Blu-ray support and a lot of output options to the table. The VX900 is on VIA's chipset list on their website in the Mobile and Ultra Mobile chip section - so it's being targetted at ultra mobile notebooks, netbooks and mobile Internet devices.
While the VX855 supported CRT, LVDS and TTL monitors, the new VX900 supports HDMI as well. Furthermore "DuoView support allows multi-monitor extended desktop support where two independent display engines can display different content at different resolutions, pixel depths and refresh rates."
There is also a lot of upgrade capability with this new chip since it offers a PCI Express 2.0 interface with 1 8 lane and 3 single lane slots. There's also two PCI slots and an 8 channel HD audio codec.
This is a very feature rich, flexible single chip solution. ''The VIA VX900 MSP supports the latest DDR3 system memory at speeds of up to 1066MHz and is compatible with the VIA Nano™, VIA C7® and VIA Eden™ processor families. The VIA VX900 integrates all the features of a traditional North and South bridge solution into a 31mm x 31mm single chip package, offering a reduced overall silicon footprint compared with competing twin-chip core logic implementations."

Seems great but , will the linux support be as good as the Intel One? Especially for GPU accelerated FFMPEG (which is not the case for intel for now)
