Late last year NVIDIA launched the Tegra 3, the world’s first quad-core mobile processor that was first seen on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime which enables new mobile experience with more robust multitasking, higher-quality gaming, and faster web browsing. This year smartphone manufacturers starting to adopt this technology for performance enhancement and further extended battery life.
NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 processor has a new Variable Symmetric Multiprocessing (vSMP) technology that includes a fifth core (the Battery Savercore). It was built using a special low power silicon process that executes tasks at low frequency for active standby mode, music playback, and even video playback. This fifth core was previously known as "companion core" and "ninja core" but it was just trademarked as 4-PLUS-1™ on 22nd of February 2012.
It is to be pointed out that more cores are better for power management than fewer cores. Four cores can run at a lower frequency, and hence lower voltage when processing the same amount of work as a dual core CPU.
HTC, Fujitsu, and LG are some of the companies which have smartphones using the NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 mobile Processor.
