Nexperia was the NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductors) brand for a family of processors, primarily featuring media processor system-on-chip (SoC) and media co-processors, but also briefly including highly integrated mobile (SoC) products. === Nexperia PNX4008 SoC=== The PNX4008 SoC was launched on February 7, 2005, as the first 90 nm ARM9 SoC CPU. This processor included PowerVR 3D graphics from Imagination Technologies for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics (80 MHz: 160Mpix/s, 1Mpolygons/s), and security IP from Discretix. Philips claimed that consumers could have up to 100 hours of uninterrupted audio playback on their MP3 players due the chips' low power usage. In September 2006, Philips formed NXP as a spin-out of their semiconductor division. The Nexperia PNX4008 was then used as the foundation for the subsequent LPC processor series from NXP. This processor was used in a number of Sony Ericsson phones, including: Sony Ericsson P990 (Oct 2005) Sony Ericsson P1 (May 2007) Sony Ericsson M600 (Feb 2006) Sony Ericsson W950 (Feb 2006) Sony Ericsson W960 (Jun 2007) === Nexperia PNX4009 SoC=== Sony Ericsson G700 and G700c Sony Ericsson G700 Business Edition Sony Ericsson G900 Sony Ericsson 'Paris' P200 Following the formation of the ST-NXP Wireless joint venture in 2008, and subsequent ST-NXP/Ericsson merger to form ST-Ericsson in 2009, later mobile processors were launched by ST-Ericsson under the brand 'NovaThor', thus bringing an end to the Nexperia mobile line.
