Anyone know if that Android tablet has H264 hardware-assisted decoding onboard? If it does, then the myth that H264 was more efficient for power use is basically busted.
The yundao n90 sports a rockchip RK2918 chip. It's the first chip from rockchip that is able to decode vp8 in hardware [1] (and obviously it decode h264 in hw too).
The myth "there is no VP8 hw decoding available" is busted.
That's not an Android tablet - it's a Samsung Series 5 Chromebook. It'd be interesting to see what the results were like across different operating systems.
