The one in the new Chromebook is definitely there. After all, the shell is spinning there in X11.

And what is used in the raspberry pi (Broadcom BCM2835) is not suitable? There, it seems, is also SoC with X11 and with acceleration.

And also the N9 and N900. True, I do not know what SoC is there

For example PandaBoard
on TI
OMAP4460 with POWERVR SGX540

Those video accelerators that are on x86 also come to mind - PowerVR (as far as I know, it was licensed not only by Intel and TI) and GeForce. How ready the drivers and X11 servers are, I don’t know - I don’t have devices on these chips. I only know that there is nothing else. The Lima project is still in its infancy.
Although, on the other hand, does it make sense to run into an accelerated X server? Windows can be drawn by ARM itself if VFP and NEON are used. And OpenMAX and OpenGL work the same under Linux, and under Android. So the video player will work in full screen mode, and some games can be built without X support. Kwaku second there.
