"High-end multimedia" features? Hmm... maybe this chip could be used by Sony if rumors regarding their "video-recorder" Clie pan out?

Note that this ARM922T has smaller caches than in the ARM925 used in the TI OMAP, and than the 32KB ones in the XScale. Maybe they're going after the segment of the market which prefers longer battery life to bigger MHz specs.
