Marvell announces Armada PXA1928 SoC, a single chip solution for advanced mobile devices

CPU, GPU, LTA modem and multi-radio support all in one 64-bit chip

Geek out with me for a bit if you will, because it's time for some chip porn.

Marvell has pulled the wrapper off their latest Armada chip, and it shows that they are ready to tussle with the big dogs in mobile silicon. The Armada PXA 1928 brings just about every controller you would ever want into a single 64-bit package, and if their past holds true, they will be able to do it at a substantial savings for the people designing and building phones and tablets.

Currently a major player in the Chinese market, Marvell is a strong partner with folks like Lenovo, Hisense and Coolpad. Right now they power plenty of entry-level LTE devices with their affordable and existing solutions. The new PXA 1928 should give quite the bump in performance and power effeciency, and hopefully foster some competition worldwide in the mid-range category. Every phone running a Snapdragon is no good for the consumer.

More after the break.
