In the last day or two several sites have been touting the performance advantages of our VIA Nano processor when compared to Intel's Atom. One crucial area of contention, however, is HD video playback.
HD video playback using either VC1 or H.264 codecs take a lot of processing power to run smoothly, and while the VIA Nano is clearly a high performance-per-watt processor, aimed at low power and mobile platforms, consumers today are still demanding smooth HD playback. Can the energy-efficient VIA Nano deal with true HD video?
This video shows a modified OpenBook running a VIA Nano at 1.3GHz competing with an Asus EEE using a 1.6GHz Atom.
Who's the smooth operator?

I think this comparison sucks, because the video decoding is not done by the CPU.
