Flash Player 10.2: Acceleration and abandonment

Adobe has released the final version of Flash Player 10.2, which provides hardware acceleration on the Mac and abandon support for PowerPC processors. Stage Video is the name of the technology designed by Adobe and used to accelerate the videos played on his favorite player. Since version 10.1, Flash uses the GPU for PC and Mac to decode the videos, but Stage Video goes further supports the entire pipeline.

We introduced this technology in our current "accelerated Flash on Linux also." This version thus marks the official introduction of this technology was reserved for now in beta software. It will, however, that the developers update the SWF player from their website to take advantage. This new version of Flash is especially important for Mac OS X, as the performance of the player are often criticized on this platform.

This is the reason why the first test mentioned in the note announcing that Adobe was carried out on a Mac mini. To mark the release and show that the publisher broke with his past, he officially leaves the management of PowerPC processors and operating systems with Apple prior to Mac OS X 10.4.

You can download this new version 10.2.152.26 in our software library.
