Panasonic Using ARM Cortex-A9 in Smart TV SoC

Both ARM and Panasonic revealed that the new UniPhier MN2WS0220 SoC for smart TVs will feature a dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore design, a 3D graphics engine and other surprising features.

Usually when we hear the name "ARM," it means technology used for tablets and smartphones. But on Wednesday ARM said that its technology is now being used in Panasonic Corporation's just-announced UniPhier (short for UniversalPlatform for High-quality Image Enhancing Revolution) MN2WS0220 System on Chip (SoC).
