We already knew that Adobe was working with NVIDIA and Broadcom to enabled hardware acceleration for Flash Player 10.1. But sometimes it's nice to see it in action. I've already highlighted videos showing netbooks with Intel Atom processors and NVIDIA ION graphics handling 1080p Flash video... but Blogeee dug up another video that shows even more hardware handling HD Flash...

Samsung NC10 hack: Adding Broadcom HD decoder to enable HD video

Brad Linder — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:02:23 +0000

Intel Atom powered netbooks with integrated graphics are known for long battery life and halfway decent performance. They're not known for handling CPU-intensive tasks like decoding HD video. For that you have third party solutions like the NVIDIA ION chipset or Broadcom's HD decoder for netbooks. While some companies including Dell and HP are offering machines with an optional Broadcom...

Most netbooks with Intel Atom processors and integrated GMA950 graphics can handle 720p HD video. But try playing a 1080p clip and you're in for a choppy, sluggish, battery-killing experience. Two companies have solutions for that. NVIDIA's ION platform bundles the Atom processor with a higher performance GeForce 9400M graphics processor. Not only do you get better HD video performance,...

Broadcom demonstrates video accelerator for netbooks

HD video on netbooks is sort of a funny beast. On the one hand, most netbooks don't have HD displays, which kind of makes me wonder why anyone needs the ability to watch HD video on these little laptops. But a growing number of mini-laptops do have 1366 x 768 pixel or higher resolution displays, and more importantly, there's growing...

You can throw all the NVIDIA ION and Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Video Accelerators you want into netbooks and nettops. If you don't optimize software applications to take advantage of those chips, you won't notice any sort of performance improvements. NetbookNews.de caught up with the folks from Cyberlink at Computex, where they were demonstrating a version of their PowerDVD software...
