So I think BestBuy screwed this up. The Snapdragon in the EVO (see:
wiki) can only decode 720p.
From wiki:
Quote:
The Snapdragon application processor core is called Scorpion and is similar to the ARM Cortex-A8 core.[1][2] All Snapdragon processors contain the circuitry to decode High-Definition (HD) video at 720p resolution.[3]
...
The upcoming HTC EVO 4G also uses the Snapdragon QSD8650 1GHz processor under the hood, due to be introduced for Sprint.[13]
...
Qualcomm expects to launch two products in 2010[14]:
8X50A: 1.3 GHz; 45 nanometer technology; available in endproducts at the end of 2010
8X72: dual-core, each core clocked at 1.5 GHz; capable of decoding 1080p
|
So essentially the chipset can only decode 720p fast enough. Or am I reading this wrong?
