HD video, 0% CPU utilization and Flash that has to be a joke, But Adobe is not laughing and promises just that with Flash 10.2 beta. This is achieved by letting the graphics card do all the heavy-lifting. it Also has other goodies like improved multi-monitor support and faster overall rendering have been added to the new version.
Flash 10.1 added support for the long-awaited hardware acceleration for video decoding the video on the video card . The reality however is that playing HD Flash videos is still a CPU-intensive task. The new Flash Player 10.2 beta adds new functionality called Stage Video, which does the rest of the video rendering actions on the GPU itself without bothering the CPU with it.
Those steps include color conversion, scaling and blitting, which all had to be done by the processor previously. So, with a video card capable of decoding H.264 video, even Full HD videos should work smoothly.
