I realize the iPad2 has not been jailbroken yet so its hard to gauge performance with the new A5 chip, but I was wondering if the developers could shed some light about potential performance.
Since the iPad2 is a dual core chip, would XBMC take advantage of the 2nd core? If so, would the addition of the 2nd core allow for the possibility to smoothly play HD content that is not .h264 encoded? I am basically wondering if the 2nd core would aid in video playback that make use of software rendering. This would also be beneficial if the refresh of the ATV2 is equipped with an A5 chip.
