Post- GTA02 / kill CPU and LCM during calls

[Jordan Keith]

First post to the board, I've been a lurker though (Feb 08).

On the topic of killing the CPU, would it be possible to have a second 
CPU there to take care of all the small things (GSM data, etc), while 
the more powerful CPU goes to sleep? Think of it like Intel 
Speedstep/AMD CoolnQuiet. When the power is needed, the main CPU is 
activated and goes about the business of pleasing the user. When the 
phone is sitting in someones pocket, the main CPU goes down and a 
smaller CPU takes up the slack. Thinking in-depth, you could possibly 
have a 600mhz main CPU and then a 50mhz secondary to take care of the 
small things (incoming call notice etc). 50mhz I would assume would give 
more then enough power to cope with incomming calls, screen lock, etc. 
The 50mhz CPU could also deal with the load-balancing. I don't know how 
applicable it is unfortunately but it should boost standby and possibly 
even talk time up a considerable amount. The only thing would be that 
the 50mhz CPU would need to be always on.

Just my 2c.
