Users are expected to be able to download a beta of Flash Player 10.1 before the end of the year.

NVIDIA customers embracing Flash Player 10.1 for their new devices include HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Acer, Asus and more. The companies have been working closely together as part of the Open Screen Project to optimize and dramatically improve performance of Flash Player 10.1 by taking advantage of GPU video and graphics acceleration on a wide range of mobile Internet devices. 5, 2009 - At Adobe MAX, Adobe’s worldwide developer conference, Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) and NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq:NVDA) today announced that both companies are bringing uncompromised browsing of rich Web content to netbooks, smartphones and smartbooks built with NVIDIA® GPUs.

That still gives ION’s competitors (basically Intel) a LOT of time to make up the difference 10.1 will offer. The full, auto-update version that will include DXVA support won’t be pushed out until the second quarter of 2010.

That means that AMD GPUs will also benefit from Flash acceleration so users of low-cost 785G platforms, for example, will also see great performance improvement. While NVIDIA is the one sending out the press release this morning, it should be noted that this Flash acceleration uses the DXVA protocols – not CUDA or anything NVIDIA-specific.
