Flash still stutters on Atom-based devices.
- danh 17y agoFlash still stutters on Core 2 Duos, in my experience...
- electromagnetic 17y agoFlash only runs on a single core, and most Atom's have the same processing size as a core on my Core 2 (1.66ghz x 2). This means any very intensive flash will still max out a processor, which is why flash urgently needs to implement hyperthreading to alleviate this process, until it does it's in risk of replacement in some areas of its market.
- jws 17y agoAtoms do not perform as much work per cycle as the Core 2 series. They are still at a disadvantage.
- jrockway 17y agoIndeed. My few-year-old Core 2 duo @ 1.44Ghz (I think) is much faster than my newish Atom netbook. Power and cost savings does not come for free.
- blasdel 17y agoYou clearly have no idea what you're talking about re: concurrency. If mentioning cores repeatedly (and summing their clock rates) wasn't enough of a giveaway, proposing Hyperthreading in userspace is just hilarious. The problem with flash is not that it's single-threaded -- it's because NSAPI plugins run in (and block) the main() thread!
- utku_karatas2 17y agoI guess you mean NPAPI.
- pkulak 17y agoAdobe really needs to hyperthread their Grand Central dispatch cores with Erlang or they're not going to get anywhere.
