I have Core i5-3570K with Intel HD4000 (Ivy Bridge). I watch movies at 1080p, usually DVDs, with SoftCubic chroma and image upscaling without problem. I can even use Jinc3 for image upscaling with 24p content (probably can handle up to 30p), but I just like SoftCubic better for DVDs and other low quality sources.
When it comes to 1080p content at native resolution, my netbook with Celeron 1007U (low voltage Ivy Bridge) with Intel HD (lowest end yesteryear Intel iGPU) can do it without breaking a sweat, as long as I have SmoothMotion disabled, so it shouldn't be a problem. For everything else, if you're willing to sacrifice quality, DXVA2 scaling is lightning-fast with newer Intel iGPUs.

EDIT: The AMD might be a better choice for HTPC, as mentioned by SamKook, but I have no experience with their newer products, hence my post is centered on Intel side.
