Rumor: Netflix currently in


Recommended Posts

Streaming media analyst Dan Rayburn has said that a source of his ?involved in the project? told him that Nintendo is in the ?testing stages? with Netflix.

The source even went so far as to say the service will arrive on the console ?very shortly?.

?What I?m hearing is that Nintendo originally planned to bring the Netflix service to the Wii before the end of this year,? he wrote, ?which still might take place, but that Nintendo is also considering holding off on the Netflix service until they release their next generation Wii HD unit in early 2010.?

Rayburn also claims to have images of the service, but declined to share the shots with Business Insider, because he didn?t want it to come back to haunt his source.

Michael Pachter said yesterday that Netflix on Wii will be announced ?in the next 12 months?.

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
