Flash 10.1 pre-release available

2009-11-17-adobe

The long awaited version of Adobe’s Flash with support for video card (GPU) acceleration is now available for the PC in pre-release form.  The new version offloads much of the video processing to the GPU, allowing for what is said to be much better playback performance.

This is especially good news for those looking to add inexpensive ION based PCs to their home theatre setup, or want better Flash performance on their netbooks, as Flash based video is just about the only format that has playback issues in high definition.  The people over at Anandtech have put the new version through a series of tests, and have found that HD content from YouTube and Hulu play back much better.

It should be noted that Anandtech found that Nvidia acceleration got the biggest boost, and Intels X4500 series chipset also did well.  AMD has said that they’ll be upgrading their drivers today to fix the performance issues.  I’ve tested it on my ION 330 system with similar results, and no issues so far.

Want to try it out?  It can be downloaded here.
