Tri Core 1.5 GHz Processor for Mobile device by Marvell

Marvell Technology has announced their mobile processor, ARMADA 628  which is the first in the world with a speed of  

1.5 GHz and the Tri-Core. It delivers dual stream 1080p 3D video and 3D graphics performance.

It incorporates a number of advanced processing and power management features. The tri-core design integrates two high performance symmetric multiprocessing cores and a third core optimized for ultra low-power. The third core is designed to support routine user tasks and acts as a system management processor to monitor and dynamically scale power and performance. The tri-core architecture provides superior performance and lower power over dual-core designs while maintaining industry compatibility and leadership — ensuring a richer, faster and smoother experience than any other ARM-based processor available today.
