The cpu in the atoms/APU's are not very good spec wise they are low level chips, So if you need anything cpu intensive like video decoding they cant handle it.

yes indeed but arent the S3's and iP4 the same? or did they created a holy grail of performance with little wattage?

Completely different. 4S has a 1ghz dualcore A5 CPU while the S3 has a 1.5 ghz S4 dualcore. in the US and the international version has a 1.4ghz Exynos quadcore.
Other differences: 4S has 512gb ram while the S3 has 2gb in US and 1gb on the international version. The S3 is also thinner and lighter then the 4S. Another difference is the 4S still lacks LTE. Also the S3 has a far supior screen in both resolution and size.
The IPhone can't even hold a candle to the S3.

By the way, I saw a bit about 10-bit and playing anime on iP4/S3, and I just want to show this. Screenshot from my friend's S3 playing UTW's Fate/Zero 720p 10-bit video with no lag. It seems to render styled ASS and karaoke without any problems too.

Ooh! Do you know which video player app he was using? I have a Galaxy Nexus using MX Player and my UTW videos stutters a bit... I want to force it to do H/W decoding but it wasn't possible :(

what are you talking about?
what i meant is that its the same as "are not very good spec wise they are low level chips, So if you need anything cpu intensive like video decoding they cant handle it." but they could which is weird.
also, E450 is a dual core 1.6ghz, while atom D525 is a dualcore+HT at 1.8ghz. plus given that these rigs can go as high as 16GB of ram with a pair of 8GB sticks, so ram is irrelevant on this case.
to give you a practical example, a notebook 11" with a E450 could last about 4hours while playing a 720p Hi10p video, it cant manage 1080p Hi10p at all. while a ultra tiny hand-held tablet could play for as much as 5hours and manage to play 1080p Hi10p no sweat?
do notice this quote, thanks.

Edit: tho if what you're saying is true, then i do hope they put those pretty CPUs into notebooks too. dat uber tiny CPU crunching 1080p Hi10p no sweat, me want.
Edit2: i just thought of something insane, ARM supports ubuntu, said so by wiki. that would mean Exynos + Ubuntu + tiny case = perfect HTPC, sluuur.
Edit3: http://armdevices.net/2012/06/17/toshiba-omap4470-windows-8-rt-arm-powered-laptop-and-tablet-shown-on-video/ doh sub 500$, now thats good.

I misinterpreted what you were asking. I thought you were comparing the 4S to the S3, not comparing them to chipsets in computers. I wasn't paying any attention to that part of the conversation in this thread so I didn't realize you were engaged in that conversation.

Again, I just thought you were comparing the two devices.
No need to be condescending. I hadn't even had my morning coffee yet when I replied ::)

If only XBMC would release a Linux version for ARM architecture. They have a Linux version for x86 and they have an ARM version for IOS so it shouldn't be a huge leap for them.
I guess you could try Ubuntu TV. It has ARM support but I have no experience with it. I really should try it out but I am quite satisfied with XBMC.
