NVIDIA's video decoder gets an upgrade in Kal-El to support H.264 at 40Mbps sustained (60Mbps peak) at a resolution of 2560 x 1440. This meets the bandwidth requirements for full Blu-ray disc playback. NVIDIA didn't just make the claim however, it showed us a 50Mbps 1440p H.264 stream decoded and output to two screens simultaneously: a 2560 x 1600 30" desktop PC monitor and a 1366 x 768 tablet display.

Looks like I can play all H.264 high profile videos, even those with L5.1 16 reference frames encodes off my smartphone/tablet device without transcoding/reencoding ever again on a very power efficient SoC that uses no more than 1 watt of power.
The future is so great while so many Luddites are still stuck in the past with CPU decoding wasting power all the time, using 35/65/95 watts of power to decode.
