Adobe + nVidia or hardware accelerated flash-video by the GPU
Hi habrovchane!
Today, October 5, the embargo on the publication of this information is lifted. At the nVidia press briefing, among other things, the alpha version of Adobe Flash Player 10.1, which differs from the 10th version, was supported by CUDA as one of the key chips. In particular, it will be nice to fans of Youtube and their HD-content.

In the process of demonstrating the capabilities of hp mini 311, video playback from Youtube-HD in 720p format was demonstrated. All this was competently flavored with a large amount of statistical data, according to which it turns out that people watch videos on the network even more often than they use their e-mail. The only good news is that social networks and information search still hold leading positions.
According to comrades from nVidia, today should be published the news about the release of the public beta version of Adobe Flash Player 10.1. I do not know about the news, but you can search for the player on the Adobe Labs page . There is no download link yet, but there is complete information about the upcoming version.

Of course, it was not without beautiful marketing steps in comparing the platforms and demonstrating what “was” and what “became”. The main competitor, by tradition, is a platform based on Intel chipsets and Intel low-end processors. It is believed that C2D copes with the load and normally decodes flash video on desktop computers, however, according to statistics, only 20% of the total number of such productive computers.

At the moment, the cooperation between Adobe and nVidia is exclusive and hardware acceleration of flash video is available only to owners of GeForce video cards and platforms with integrated video with CUDA support (which include ION). There is no information on similar cooperation between Adobe and AMD, however, representatives of nVidia do not exclude such a possibility.
The rest of the details and details can be viewed in the presentation, I cut only the most key points. Thank you all for your attention.
