Intel Celeron 723 1.2GHz & 4500mhd plays Youtube 1080p fine

I was playing with an MSI X340 with Intel Celeron 723 1.2GHz and Intel 4500 graphics. I was surprised to see it handle the Asteroid HD clip from Youtube.

CPU would go to about 80% but playback was smooth.

Settings: Windows 7 32 bit, Firefox 3.5.6., Flash Beta 10.1

Edit: I tried the same clip on some more powerful systems. Looks like my Celeron 723 doesn't play it 100% smooth, it's more like 90% smooth.

 

Thats good to know, apparently the beta 10.1 plays a good part allowing the footage to run better, but thats just what i heard, i'd expect it to run nicely though .

 

0.o o.0 Witchcraft!

My netbook with an Atom @ 2.0, with 2 gigs of ram can barely play SD youtube videos!

Probably has to do with that 4500MHD. The GMA950 is hilariously bad.

 

GMA950 = joke for sure... if there's a new netbook with the new intel integrated graphics , it would use less CPu fior sure....

 

My atom netbook @ 2.0GHZ plays 1080P youtube at about 20% CPU use.

And @ the OP I'm sure the 4500MHD is making a huge difference, try running them on just the regular Flash 10 and see how it goes?

 

Try playing this clip in 1080p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zvCUmeoHpw

I can't believe it will play back at 20% CPU on your Atom 2.0.

 

It actually says 1.6 but its running at 2.0. CPU fluctuates between 16-28%

I may have forgot to mention its a Dual Core Atom with the ION/9400M

 

cheater

 

So this is a Z530 overclocked to 2ghz w/ion? Nice! One of these days I might have to actually buy into this netbook craze.

 

Its the N330 (desktop Atom). basically its two N230s slapped together, which is like a N270 running at 4W TDP with no speedstep. Yeah COD4 at 30 FPS on native res and on high settings isn't bad for something that weighs about 3lbs isn't bad.

 

i dont wanna burst your bubble but the description says that its 720p and it doesnt even look like 720p. have you guys tried playing a 1080p video from a .mkv or something else?

 

Mkv plays fine too, but that's something entirely different than flash.

This is a Youtube 1080p clip that plays well too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-AW_IFHyUc&hd=1

The reason I mentioned the Asteroid HD clip is that it's even heavier.

 

I just checked, and the videos really are 1080P. I used the the Ninja Assassin trailer, the Youtube version (MP4) was indistinguishable from a separate downloadable (MOV) version.

 

Actually I think because of the compression a 720P flash video will tax a CPU probably close to the same amount as a .mkv file (and by .mkv I assume you mean a h264/x264 file since .mkv is just the container and has no bearing on how easy the file is to play). Coincidentally I have played many h264 1080P .mkv files with no problems, some with bit rates in the 15Mbs range on a 54" plasma with 0 dropped frames.

 

Dual core atoms are cheater atoms. You haven't roughed it unless you're using a computer that's equivalent to a PIII clock-for-clock.

 

Well my GF has a MSI Wind U100 (single N270) and that replaced a Thinkpad A30 (PIII 1133MHZ) and she doesn't mind roughing it

 

I tried the same clip on some more powerful systems. Looks like my Celeron 723 doesn't play it 100% smooth, it's more like 90% smooth.

 

I'm having problems with flash 10.1... it doesn't seem to help... could u plz show some screenshots of the programs u used to measure CPU usage and GPU usage and all when playing HD videos. Thanks.

 

I only used the taskmanager (ctrl-alt-del) to measure cpu utilization.

 

A phil u there?

 

By Sean's request, a screenshot:

Btw this on a SU2300. I send the Celeron 723 notebook back to the supplier.

 

Thanks Phil. Can someone plz post a GPU-Z picture when playing full HD videos?
