Marvell’s 1.5GHz, Triple Core ARM Processor Can Handle 140 Hours of Music on One Charge

The smartphone guts race just got a bit more interesting—dark horse Marvell has just outed the first ever 1.5GHz ARM tri-core mobile processor. The Armada 628 pairs two high-performance cores with one optimized for low-power. Take that, Snapdragon.
