Testing CPU requirements for video playback: Flash vs HTML5
Jan Ozer published some interesting tests comparing Adobe's flash player to YouTube's new HTML5-based player, with regard to the amount of CPU usage needed for video playback.
His main conclusion is that Flash is efficient on platforms where it can access hardware acceleration (e.g. Windows) and less efficient where it can't (e.g. Mac). An additional conclusion is that the CPU horsepower needed to play back HTML5 video also differs substantially depending on the browser being used.
