Same situation on the LSI Logic (actually, it came from C-Cube Microsystems) processor. One SPARC core running VxWorks and applications and the other SPARC core running bare metal and MPEG-2 codecs. The first version of the chip was introduced at CES 2001. Pretty early for a multi-core CPU. Only 150 MHz clock rate though.
