ShoppingFinally, Adobe Flash brings hardware acceleration to the mac, but not to all macs
Hardware acceleration for Adobe Flash is finally a Go, after years of poor performance and a long battle between Apple and Adobe, but hey, the hardware accelaration is only available for Macs running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and using NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 320M or GeForce GT 330M graphics cards. Anyway it’s an already expected/welcome feature for Flash.
Adobe insists that this new Flash Preview will bring real H.264 video hardware decoding with performance up to two-thirds reduction in CPU utilization for 1080p H.264 video playback
on Mac OS X 10.6.3 and that this feature will be added to the final Flash 10.1 to be shipped later this year.
Apple points to Adobe for the poor performance of Flash and Adobe denies it alleging it was Apple’s fault for not supplying the Hardware Acceleration API used by Quicktime, now We have to evaluate Flash to see who the hell is telling the true.
