^ i thought Hi10P is too unique to be hardware accelerated yet, lol.
the panda board loses to an atom N270 which is kind of sad.

True its not hardware accelerated but there should be enough power to run 10bit 1080p without hardware. one of the hard things with the ARM is the software is what it is, unless you compile yourself and its not always easy setting up the right toolchains like the android 4.0 stuff. bsplayer lite still uses an ancient ffmpeg that did not have 10bit stuff in it. Have not looked at dice or mx yet.

thats why its confusing, no player at the moment other than a working computer could playback 1080p Hi10P smoothly but an ARM processor which isn't even half of what the E450's processing capability, based on the comparison between the panda board and an atom N270, could play it back smoothly as well.
so yea you can't blame me for being confused, it seems like they pulled off some grand witchery on their decoders. plus theres no documented explanation on how they're doing it, i can't call it hoax either because theres proof... if they document this it would surely be possible to emulate the same thing on a regular computer, that would mean it'll become possible for an atom dualcore to do the same thing, reviving the old HTPC builds as a result.

I'm not sure the panda is even comparable to the S3 being demoed. Isn't the S3 supposed to be Quad core for the international version?
S3 International. It's twice as powerful as the dual core nexus. As the guys that have the nexus will know. 720p on it is possible but very choppy, doubling the power may just be enough to make 720p smooth. I still don't think 1080p 10bit will play on it tho.
(click to show/hide)It's this version that i was comparing to the netbook. And likely, what you guys are seeing playing back the 10bit software.
S3 Verizon is dual core a9 like the panda board. I'm still looking for perfomance reviews, but so far, it seems to point that the American S3 is slower than the International version.

i found a discussion using an S2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1425664.html
seems like they could pull it off using MX but needs to overclock it.
