</span>Well certainly the new version does support neon as well as vfp3/vfp4.<br>
Of course it also still has the videocore that supports a number of video<br>
decoding options.  Certainly doing it by CPU only was hopeless on the<br>
original pi, but that's not what they were doing in general as far as<br>
I know.<br>

says that the original can play 720p videos from youtube and vimeo.<br>
It may be that the new CPU cores will help it do more than that.<br>
