It is a very popular format in enthusiast circles and can be played directly in Windows Media Player with suitable codecs installed. We use the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP).

We ripped our BluRay disc of Sniper Reloaded to 1080P MKV and use Windows Media Player to playback the file.

The AMD A8 4555M takes top spot, demanding 35 percent CPU time. The AMD E450 in the EDGE HD3 is slightly less efficient in this test, dropping to 42 percent CPU time.
