Microsfot is working to get better battery life or reduce power consumption by having efficient video decoding. This allows for lower CPU usage, smoother video playback and a better battery life as, their official blog explains, the dedicated media hardware is more efficient than the CPU at media decoding. The company also showcased a chart where the difference in CPU utilization between Windows 7 and Windows 8 was mapped and Windows 8 had a much lower rate than Win 7, which is a worthy improvement.
Win 8 enables a low latency for both playback and communication related scenarios. Win 8 will also support HD cameras to enhance the video communication experience. The OS by default will support HD cameras that will enable a consistent, high quality, hardware accelerated media consumption for PCs designed for Windows 8. Stereo 3D will be supported on DirectX 10 and higher GPUs with compatible drivers. Naturally, a stereo 3D compatible display will be required for that.
