Raspberry Pi £15 Computer is More Powerful Than you Think

Gadgehit writes: "The Raspberry Pi computer, which costs just £15/$25 is the world’s smallest computer and is the size of a USB stick. However, that doesn’t mean it is completely useless, the computer has a 700 MHz ARM11 processor, 128 MB of RAM and OpenGL graphics with enough power to display 1080p video. It also has HDMI out and a USB port, but to further prove it’s power, a video has been uploaded which shows Quake 3 running on the tiny device."

It may be able to play 1080p video, but not with Silverlight or Flash. My 1.6Ghz Intel Atom can't run 1080p through web browsers. 360p plays, but with minor screen tearing.

Can it render video at 1080p in a normal media player though?

tplarkin74613d ago

I just tested a 720p WMV file. BSPlayer played it really well.

I also tested a 1080p movie clip which dropped frames like crazy in BSPlayer.

Technically speaking, the Raspberry Pi may be able to play 1080p, but the average guy won't be able to view his videos at that resolution.

Also, some websites have flash ads which interfere with their flash videos. It's like running two videos simultaneously. Videos become very choppy, even at 480p.

I doubt Raspberry Pi can play Youtube videos at any resolution.
