Have there been any updates on this? Can anyone here explicitly confirm that they've tested it & it works? And even if it does; given that apparently nvidia hardware can't do this, is it likely that it would actually get accepted in upstream mesa?

Many laptops need to be regularly blown free of dist

But i have seen stuff like this happen. My Dell D630 had its mobo replaced, my collegue's Lenovo R61 had its mobo replaced (both were used in proper conditions, no gaming or anything and the bios didnt report very high temps) and i have seen many other laptops that had burnt chips. Thats the reality. If you have laptops that work 24/7, good for you, but thats not the norm for everyone else.

Some mobile cpus can get really hot and after many heating cycles the chip could fry or the soldering on the mobo fail. You might say it didnt happen to you but it does happen sometimes, especially on lower end models (of which we talk about here mainly). For example even my Dell D630 (which is a high end model) reports ~80-90 C after a few minutes of full load (core2duo@2GHz). It improves somewhat with a cooler, but it still reaches high temps. Other laptops such as Lenovo T61 do the same.
PS. Didnt know about mpv. Seems to be better than mplayer for casual viewing with its simple osd. And doesnt mess with the master pulse volume + it automatically uses software decoding if the hardware cant decode that particular codec (these 2 were my biggest beefs with mplayer). Had to adjust the config file to enable hw decoding and had to manually add mpeg2/4 codecs to the hw decode codec list to use them too. Performance wise doesnt seem to be that much different vs mplayer, in fact it seems to use a tiny bit more cpu, but mostly its about the same.

Maybe the 1007 or the like Celerons have the oomph to decode 1080p in software, i dont know. But the E350 or the Atom certainly isnt up to the task. If the hi10p is anything like the regular 1080p, that is. Do you have a clip somewhere that we can test?
I have a SU3500 [email protected] which chokes on just about anything HD that isnt hardware decoded (it has the GMA45 video chipset which has some basic h264 decoding after i compiled libva manually). And that wasnt a cheap CPU when it was released. Also i have an atom 1.6GHz single core that barely handles anything. I installed Windows on another dual core 450 Atom that was crap also.

You can easily go out and buy the cheapest AMD laptop on the market today, of which I got an old 1.6Ghz AMD Turion 64 X2 for $300 4 years ago, that plays 1080p 10-bit perfectly smooth with only ~half the CPU being used. AMD's E-Series should fair a lot better than that.
