Well the N900 is able to play true HD movies smooth with a few modifications, the topic here says that the N9 isn't able to do that.

I don't understand that though, the N900 has the same GPU and a similar CPU performance (Overlocked) so shouldn't be both phones able to play videos in a similar speed?

For example my Lenovo A1 tablet is using a OMAP 3622 CPU (Cortex-A8, 1GHz) with a PowerVR SGX 530 GPU which is also a pretty similar hardware configuration. 720P videos play with higher bitrates very smooth on the A1, better than on the N900 for some reason.
