In a press release dated September 04 2009, NXP Semiconductors announce their latest range of processors for set top boxes, the catchily named NXP PNX847x/8x/9x. The interesting part for this blog is that the chips integrate the PowerVR architecture from Imagination Technologies.
The key may lie in the power management goal of NXP who say in the press release that the architecture is specifically designed to maximize energy efficiency. This may explain the choice of PowerVR which uses a region based architecture that helps to reduce power useage and has been very successful in the mobile sector.
