NVIDIA Rebrands The Tegra 3s Architecture, Wants Everyone To Now Call It A 4-Plus-1 SoC

You see, it's a quad-core chip with another 500MHz companion core that handles low-power background tasks -- an architecture Nvidia previously called variable symmetric multiprocessing.

Nvidia even went as far as trademarking the new name.
