I had an HTPC running Windows 7 Media Center with a Core i3 and Intel HD Video 2000. It did 1080p output without an issue. Not that broadcast TV is 1080p... but it played BluRays fine as well. I never noticed any artifacts or video weakness.

EDIT: This is the CPU I was using. Nothing special, really.
