Blu-ray optical disk technology and DirectX 10+

VC-1, WMV-HD, AVS, and AVC.
Sophisticated algorithms and power control
mechanisms will allow Chrome 400 ULP Series GPUs to
deliver the optimal balance between performance and
power on-the-fly, to meet performance and
application requirements for power efficient
graphics computing on thin and light notebook PCs.

SKUs.
The Chrome 430 ULP faetures a TDP of less than 7
watts, supports HD video and DirectX 10.1 gaming.
