Flash 10.1 RC4 Allows Intel GMA 4500MHD to Play 1080p HD Video

Friday, May 7th, 2010...10:18 pm

Netbooked reports that the latest version of Flash 10.1 RC4 allows the Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics chipset to playback 1080p HD Flash video smoothly! If this has you scratching your head, you may have missed that these latest (pre-beta) versions of Flash allow for video hardware acceleration (rather than just relying on the Atom processor). One of the previous releases (RC2 or RC3), provided fullscreen 1080p Flash on Nvidia ION devices, but this appears to be the first one to support the built-in Intel Graphics.
