NVIDIA have posted a video comparing the performance, size and power consumption of their ARM11™ MPCore™ processor-based Tegra computer on a chip, with the equivalent Intel solution.

The results illustrate that the Tegra solution is one tenth of the size and one tenth of the power consumption of the Intel solution, while playing high definition video, compared to the Intel solution playing standard definition video.

ARM has released highly optimized source code versions of the OpenMAX DL (Development Layer) libraries for decoding the AAC and MP3 formats in the audio domain, and decoding the MPEG-4 and H.264 formats in the video domain. These functions can be downloaded free-of-charge from the ARM website http://www.arm.com/products/esd/openmax_home.html, and the license granted to these functions entitles the user to integrate them into their own products at no cost.
