Lurking her more than a while, I strangely not seen this HW request.
A reasonably general digital signal processor on the phone.
Opening possibility's for all kind of things. accelerated
decoders/encoders for audio and video, voice recognition and
fingerprint, 2D graphic acceleration, 3D graphic acceleration,
accelerated image (think gimp filters) or just any advanced operation...
or just making up for missing FPU.
While probably more power hungry then respective dedicated chip, it's
probably a lot more efficient then the ordinary CPU... and more powerful
and flexible.
