MP3 already made such a PC sweat though. I doubt it could play 256 kbit AAC, and forget about HE-AAC or FLAC.

This chip is clocked over 7 times higher than my old Pentium, and it's not like the Pentium was massively super scaler. I'm not sure how the IPC compares, but I can't imagine that ARM is that much worse than a mid-90s Intel chip.

FLAC would be easier, maybe. But at minimum it should be played on a MMX Pentium.

I always figured “Multi-Media eXtension” is just a marketing fluff but 20 years later here we are.

I doubt it has the memory capacity or bandwidth for a lossless format like FLAC.

Pentium 2 + 32MB of RAM should be enough.
