Look on page 2, under the heading "GeForce For Notebooks". Here, I'll attach it for you. Last column on the right
So I missed the second page.
Besides, if that page is accurate, care to explain why nVidia's other pages clearly state that the GeForce Go 7300 does NOT have these features?
That chart also lists the GeForce 6150 as H.264 capable. Something nVidia and other manufacturers have denied in the past.
If you poke around at the site, that chart contradicts many of the product pages, as well as driver features. For example, it claims the GeForce 8400M GS cannot do video deblocking or sharpening. Yet I have those very two features available to me in the drivers and playing with the sliders and clicking apply has very noticeable affects on the video I see onscreen.
Can you elaborate as to why you posted this link
To show the specs of the Apple TV?
Nice exhibition of civility. Do you always act in such a way when someone asks you a question?
It's always fun to poke fun at people who think they know everything when they are clearly wrong.
Speaking of which, you still have yet to present any kind of argument that would back up your claims, as well as any kind of proof that Apple TV (or OS X) benefits from GPUs with advanced video features.
That is interesting. I wonder what Apple's rationale is for using the Go 7300 in the ATV, then?
User interface. The GeForce 7300 will run Core Animation better than the GMA 950 or X3100.
It's clear that the CPU does all of the work on the Apple TV just as it does in OS X. Why else would there be a 720p limit on video? If the GPU was doing the work then it would be able to handle higher resolutions and MUCH higher bitrates.
Again, if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself on any of your Macs. On your Mac mini you can throw XP and PowerDVD on there. Enable hardware acceleration in PowerDVD and compare video quality to DVD Player in OS X. Night and day difference even with just HWMC. On your MBP or iMac, throw Vista on it and get VLC and watch H.264 video while monitoring your CPU use. Not only will it be drastically lower, but the image quality will (again) be night and day. Much better on Windows on the same machine.
It's simply how Apple and OS X work.
