by Guy J Kewney | posted on 11 February 2009
Amongst many ARM processor innovations in Barcelona next week, one of the more impressive is likely to be the company's Symbian "Symmetric Multiprocessing Demonstration on the ARM Cortex-A9 Processor."
Describing this as "the key to the future of the mobile industry," Arm points to this first public demonstration of two new technologies working together: the ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore multicore processor "delivering notebook performance with the power footprint of mobile, and Symbian OS SMP capability."
The second-generation MPCore multicore processor enables the sharing of workload among processors, providing more processing performance on-demand with lower power consumption overall.
"This will enable greater responsiveness to the multiple tasks with which a smartphone has to cope, whilst extending battery life."
