Hmm, they were running a Pentium D 830 Processor to decode the video. Intels processors arent very efficient (except for Conroe) when it comes to processing. AMDs processors are far superior to Intels and could handle this a little more smoothly than the setup they had used.
As for new tech, AMD is releasing its 4 x 4 tech within "Holiday Season". This allows for 4 Processing Cores via 2 dual cores (soon to be 8; 2 x 4 cores), and 4 of another/any performance tech. (GPU's, Ram, HDs etc)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
