I've been running Freescale's OMX video codecs (via Android) on this iMX6 architecture and it's working great. It's all hardware/GPU based and a typical h.264 stream @ 720p doesn't take more than 3-5% CPU.
typical yes, but if you get something that actually uses the software decoder because the hardware decoder doesn't support it, you'll peak to 100% cpu and choppy playback.
You didn't think the software decoder takes 5% cpu did you ? :)
