It's signal processing that they have going on which happens to include NR as well, but there's more to it than just straight NR. Color correction at high ISO is also part of the signal processing. I just did a test comparing ISO from 100 - 1.6 million. (I skipped 12,800 by accident and went from 10,000 -25,600) between jpeg at default camera NR settings and DNG raw. The amount of detail the raw maintains is quite amazing and doesn't smear at high ISO how the jpegs do. The jpegs also seem to drop the red/magenta tone higher up in the ISO chain (25,600). Loss of detail was much less evident with the raw files in comparison.

Colour-correction is incredibly valuable! I can deal with noise als long as it's sort-of uniform, but I highly dislike colour-noise when I want to make a colour-pic.

Let's hope that this tech will also be put into the K-1 sucessor.
