This couldn't come at a better time with 1080p HD YouTube videos launching this week. At this stage Nvidia chips should work best since the company worked directly with Adobe -- AnandTech has put the new hardware accelerated video playback to the test and reports that Hulu playback on Ion is "nearly perfect." ATI Radeon 3xxx and Radeon/Mobile Radeon 4xxx, Intel 4 series chipsets and Broadcom Crystal HD models are also supported. Unfortunately for most netbook owners, GMA500 and GMA950 integrated graphics are off the list.
Adobe plans to bring its updated Flash Player technology to mobile devices as well, starting with the Palm Pre and then completing versions for other major smartphones by the first half of 2010.
The company also announced an AIR 2 beta which allows developers to build more feature-rich applications, including full support for mass storage, multi-touch gestures and accelerometer support, communication with actual native apps, USB storage device detection and claims of significant performance increases.

Can someone explain what the percentages mean

It says "Windowed Average CPU Utilization", so the percentages are comparing the average CPU usage between Flash 10 and Flash 10.1.

Pretty impressive!

This is one of the more significant features that Flash has brought to me in a while. My little Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz can now suffer through a longer service life! This poor little office computer just can't find any excuses for why it should be replaced. Thanks Adobe!

Oh my goodness! Adobe finally smartens up with gpu accelerated flash! I always found it odd playing gpu intensive video games over high speed internet with no problems while watching videos (or playing games) on any flash based site would stutter.

This is quite a good update for Adobe to update their Flash Player. The only thing that they should focus now is 64 Bit browser support.
-
About time. I hope to see a lot more off loading in the future, especially with direct x 11 support.
-
Great new, I agree that a 64bit release is long overdue!
