Is 3d iso already supported?

I don't believe so. I think MVC content currently needs to be re-wrapped as MKV (MakeMKV will do this) - though this is a fast process and won't lose you any quality (as it isn't transcoding).

AV performance is better as there is no 24p bug (the Celeron 847 won't do 23.976 or 59.94Hz output rates properly) and I suspect the Pi 2 also de-interlaces 1080i content as well if not slightly better.

The Celeron will bitstream HD Audio I think - whereas the Pi 2 will decode <192kHz 5.1/7.1 DTS-HD MA and Dolby True HD tracks losslessly to PCM (with 192kHz stuff limited to 4.0 or down sampled AIUI).

Can't comment on other speeds - but the Pi 2 is pretty snappy in UI terms as a result of its quad core CPU (and the extra RAM over the 512MB B+ makes a difference too I suspect).

I used to run a 1007U Celeron Revo and I wouldn't say the Pi 2 suffers in comparison (other than the lack of HD Audio bitstreaming meaning your amp lights don't come on!)

For other purposes a Celeron may be better if it has GigE - particularly for stuff like file serving, TV backends etc. The one limitation the Pi and Pi 2 share is that all the USB and Ethernet IO hangs off a single USB 2.0 bus. Intel platforms have more IO bandwidth usually. That said, this isn't a limitation I've hit when using a Pi 2 as a Kodi front-end.
