==Introduction==
Computational power achievable by system-on-chips built around Cortex-A8 processor make them appealing solution for several applications that historically have been implemented on x86-based processors.
This image shows in detail internal architecture of DM8148 digital media processor.

The first notable difference is about the integration level. By definition, system-on-chip such as DM8148, are designed to address embedded systems where footprint - in terms of PCB area and power budget - has to be minimized.
