Yep, now I see it. Bummer.

I did a quick search through the documents at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html 
  and section 10.9.1.2 in volume 2 seems to say HD is possible:

"Therefore, for the 16-EU configuration, VLD hardware matches with the  
EU’s performance for SD contents. There is sufficient performance  
headroom for HD contents. For configuration with less EUs, VLD  
hardware has sufficient performance headroom for both SD and HD  
contents."

The volume 1 document seems to say the current hardware is shipping  
with 8 EUs (section 3.2.5.1) so maybe it doesn't multiply out.
