No idea.   I've played with the 330HT, but I've been on the waiting list for the 3D version for MONTHS.   The 330HT isn't the right concept, really.. not with the AMD Zotac about to drop...

Typo on my part.  I meant the AMD Zacate.

As a chip, you get performance about at an i5-520, it can run near silent because it's 18W, full Bluray3D hardware decoder built onboard, 10bit deep color output, HD bitstream passthrough HDMI...

 

How good?

 

At 18W, here you have it decoding 1080P video while running two other applications (including SuperPi) with no stutter:

 

 

Imagine this as the kind of thing that makes for a super quiet, low power HTPC that stomps all over it's market competitors.   A potential real game changer.
