[...] permalink Single core Atom had adequate performance that makes it fit in any mini-notebook, but not quite adequate when it comes to doing tasks more complicated. Quite interested in Intel Atom

Actually the single core Atom plays back 720p without a hitch, and can play 1080p if some of the more demanding cpu intensive options are not used (like cabac and block filters). It’s all depends on the encoding that is used, and x264/h264 has a ton of options when encoding.

With that in mind, there’s no reason the dual core will not be able to playback 1080p content.

Here’s a clip from one site on HD playback —
The most demanding clip the system could play flawlessly was a 720p H.264 trailer for “Dark Knight.” The D945GCLF, with its basic feature-set, is just not powerful enough to play anything higher than 720p video

It does NOT have 4 cores, stop saying that.
It has 2 cores with hyper threading. Hyper threading balances multiple programs at once with a smaller loss of performance. but does not magically make the two cores work like 4 cores.

Even though it’s now “four” cores, anyway, I still highly doubt it can ever play back a 720p movie, let alone 1080 ones.
