NVIDIA officially brands Tegra 3′s five-core quad-core architecture as 4-PLUS-1

NVIDIA's cooked up a few ways to describe the Tegra 3′s quad-core-with-a-spare architecture, usually by giving the extra Cortex A9 a cute nickname like “ninja,” or “companion.” Until now, the proper description was “Variable Symmetrical Multiprocessing,” or, vSMP for short. Despite how much fun (and technically accurate) some of these descriptions may have been, however, they just aren't marketable.
