NVIDIA Tegra 3's: The world's first quad-core processor

It was built using a special </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">low power silicon process that executes tasks at low frequency for active standby mode, music </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">playback, and even video playback.
