A compact architecture for a multimedia flagship The N8’s motherboard reflected a clear priority: pack a powerful multimedia experience into a compact, premium-feeling chassis while keeping cost and power draw manageable. Unlike the later smartphone era where system-on-chip (SoC) integration becomes near-total, the N8’s board is a hybrid of integration and discrete components. At its core sits an ARM11‑class application processor coupled with companion chips for graphics acceleration, modem functions, power management and multimedia I/O. Memory — both NAND flash and mobile DRAM — is socketed or soldered close to the SoC for latency-sensitive tasks like image processing and app execution.
