    ST-Ericsson Collaborates With ARM to Demonstrate the World's First Symmetric Multi Processing Mobile Platform Technology on Symbian OS  Feb 16, 2009
    The platform's flexible power management also exploits Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) which adapts the voltage to the different characteristics of each single chip, induced by silicon process variations. Another big advantage of SMP in mobile applications is more efficient power consumption, and this benefit will be very visible to the end user. (PR Newswire)
