So what is 'other stuff'; is there really no general term that describes well what's been done to this SoC; or is it secret and we're in a catch 22 here? > > Note that for the big cores we added the NNPI thing, which was for > > Neural Network Processing something. > > I'm sure that we will invent all sorts of strings for the "OPTDIFF" > part of the name (many of which will only be used once or twice). That's a bit sad; because as shown by the patches just send out; there really isn't _that_ much variation right now. Anyway, lets just give the thing a name; _NP whatever, and we can rename it if needed.
