Chip designer ARM has developed a processor design for consumer electronics devices that uses the symmetric multiprocessing technology usually found in servers, the company plans to announce.
The MPCore was developed in partnership with NEC. It brings the multicore technology that chip designers have implemented into server processors down to the embedded networking device or set-top box market, said Dave Steer, director of segment marketing for ARM, based in Cambridge, England.
Multicore seems to be the buzzword these days. -KingFish

    I think P = A, and you missed a 6 before the 4.
