NaviEngine

NEC’s NaviEngine
1 is a SoC
product based on ARM’s
ARM11MPCore.
It’s for car navigation systems that adopts the SMP (Symmetrical
Multicore Processor). The chip delivers high-speed parallel processing
performance of up to 1920MIPS at 400 MHz. In addition, NaviEngine1 has
2D and 3D graphics using the POWERVR SGX 535 graphics core by
Imagination Technologies. Volume production is scheduled to begin in
March 2009.
