H265 decoding performance on a Pi 3
As Qualcuno pointed out yesterday, the RPi (all models) does not have support for hardware acceleration of H.265 video sources. As such, the RPi just doesn't have the raw horsepower needed to decode ...

Raspberry Pi Model B 3 Overclocking?
According to this article about the Pi 3, overclocking is not an option. Not yet at least. The Pi 3 is stuck at 1.2 Ghz for now, which should be plenty fast.

Raspberry Pi Model 3 Overclocking Settings?
Overclock at your own risk:
Overclocking is not exactly safe, but it can be done right and the Pi 3 will likely run without any problems if so. Not all Pi's are made equal so some people may be able ...

H265 decoding performance on a Pi 3
A RPI3 can decode 1080p HEVC quite well. There have been NEON optimizations to HW-accelerate HEVC decoding. Best played with KODI.
The problem is a RPI3 is running hot, so it starts throttling, an ...

Setting the maximum clock speed
In /boot/config.txt

arm_freq sets the maximum speed that the CPU can run at.
And the term you are looking for to call this is underclocking.
