Introduction
In February 2011, NVIDIA introduced and demonstrated its Project Kal-El mobile processor, the
world’s first quad core mobile processor. Project Kal-El will enable new mobile applications, new
experiences, more robust multitasking, higher-quality gaming, and faster web browsing. In
addition, Project Kal-El will further extend battery life by operating its CPU cores at lower
frequency, yet still be able to complete more work than dual core or single core processors.
Other industry leaders have agreed that quad core is the correct direction, and announced their
own mobile quad core processor lines. While including more CPU cores will improve
performance and lower power in many use cases, additional technologies can take this even
further.
NVIDIA’s Project Kal-El processor implements a novel new Variable Symmetric
Multiprocessing (vSMP) technology. Not previously disclosed publicly, vSMP includes a fifth
CPU core (the “Companion” core) built using a special low power silicon process that executes
tasks at low frequency for active standby mode, music playback, and even video playback. The
four main “quad” core
