Marvell Armada 628 3-core mobile processor with 1.5 GHz clock

Marvell is not known for processors, but rather for the network and audio components, chip form. Today, the company announced that it is the world's first triple-core processor for mobile devices, such as Smartphones developed. So far, not even dual-core components have made it into the market, let alone to have established itself. Seems the more bigger the head start of Marvell here, because the system consists of two powerful, with 1.5 GHz clocked ARM cores, and a third, clocked at 624 MHz. Here, the third core functions as a system manager to allocate resources and tasks dynamically.

This is the first system is Marvell-on-a-Chip (SoC) solution prior to a total of 9 dedicated processes have. This enables two streams of 1080p resolution 3D realize. The playback of such videos will still not be battery-heavy and allow a 1080p 3D video playback time of 10 hours without a break. The music playback will even be rich in 140 hours.

The Marvell Armada 628 also features a 1 MB Level 2 cache and should be able to easily provide two displays with graphics. The NEON WMMX2 and hardware acceleration is also listed on the specifications. In addition, the connection options on the cutting edge of technology, today we find it in any Smartphone a HDMI (PHY, UniPro, Slimbus, SPMI) connection, let alone 2 VGA ports. There will also be the first device that has a USB 3.0 controller and thus enables the connection of USB 3.0 devices. This system is not bound to a single OS, but can already be test with Android, Linux, Windows Mobile and RIM OS. Support for Adobe Flash is also to be easily guaranteed in full. The sampling phase has begun, and you want to quickly bring the first devices to market. This means that this is not a trial or a trial project, but is aimed at the mass market and mass production. riviewed you exactly how to connect, use in netbooks is ruled out any more.
