The i.MX8ULP from NXP adds a flex domain for power management and is the first to be built on a low power 28nm FDSOI process

NXP has launched an ultra low power version of its i.MX8 processor with security enhancements.
The i.MX 8ULP family is the first to be built on a low leakage 28nm FD-SOI process technology to reduce the static power, and adds a flexible power management architecture to lower the dynamic power.
The Energy Flex architecture delivers as much as 75% improved energy efficiency than its predecessor by allowing access to individual blocks. Rather than using traditional dynamic voltage scaling on separate power domains, Energy Flex uses a RISC-V core to control access to blocks in the 'flex domain'.
