An 8.6mW stream processor core for mobile applications is implemented with 8.91mm2area in 0.18um CMOS technology at 50MHz. The adaptive multi-thread architecture with configurable memory array and geome-try-content-aware technique are proposed to reduce power consumption while achieving 12.5Mvertices/s for 3D graphics and motion estimation with search range {H[-24,24), V[-16,16]} for CIF (352×288) 30fps video encoding.
