Marvell Announces First 'World Phone' Single Chip Solution: 3G TD-SCDMA Baseband Combining High Performance 1.2 GHz Application Processor with Advanced 3D Graphics and 1080p Multimedia

Marvell's new single chip solution runs on the Kinoma Platform combining unprecedented hardware and software capabilities aimed at billions of smartphone and tablet users around the globe

BARCELONA, Spain, February 14, 2011 - Marvell (Nasdaq: MRVL), a worldwide leader in integrated silicon
solutions, continues to build on its heritage of mobile communications
innovations with the announcement of its world phone platform based on the
Marvell(R) PXA978 communications processor with Marvell HSPA modem. Marvell's
PXA978 is the industry's first single-chip solution to feature 3G UMTS
(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and China's TD-SCDMA (Time
Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) standard with HSPA
(High-Speed Packet Access) support and is intended to enable mobile
developers to design 3G cellular devices and tablets that can be used and
supported globally.

"The quest to deliver seamless connectivity on a global scale requires
fundamental breakthroughs in mobile telephony. I'm very proud of our
engineering teams for continuously delivering some of the most innovative
technologies in our industry. It's truly amazing that a tiny chip like the
PXA978 integrates both 3G and TD-SCDMA basebands, a powerful application
processor, all advanced 3D graphics capability, with a very low-power profile
and affordable cost structure ideal for mobile devices, such as smartphones
and tablets," said Weili Dai, Marvell's Co-Founder. "With the addition of
Kinoma's elegant and intuitive software experience and integration of
cutting-edge mobile technologies, Marvell has enabled the entire ecosystem -
in both its depth and breadth - to convert conventional cell phones into
multi-functional mobile gadgets ideal for gaming, video chatting, live news,
and more. This small device has the potential to make a huge impact on our
world. I envision that a true world phone will transform the global economy
by lowering the cost and barriers to entry for billions more consumers and
innovators."

Unlike current technology on the market, the Marvell world phone
development platform is the world's first and only available solution of its
kind featuring R7 3G UMTS and TD-SCDMA with HSPA. Additionally, the platform
will feature the industry's first Mobile MIMO, Avastar(TM) 88W8797, an
802.11n 2×2 dual-band Wi-Fi SoC designed to support high data rates for
next-generation mobile devices. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) no
longer need to design separate development platforms to accommodate different
wireless standards and target markets around the world, saving months of
design time and cost. Instead, they can focus on creating a wide portfolio of
3G UMTS supported phones that can be used globally with other UMTS carriers
worldwide - all based on a single development platform.

China Mobile, the world's largest carrier with more than 500 million
subscribers, recently reported that there are currently more than 18 million
TD-SCDMA users in China. With that number expected to grow exponentially,
Marvell's world phone platform based handsets will provide wireless handset
OEMs with a wireless phone platform designed to deliver unmatched performance
and addresses the rapidly expanding requirements of one of the world's
largest populations.

Marvell's PXA978 single chip solution uses advanced 40nm process
technology and is designed to deliver 3G TD-SCDMA baseband combining high
performance 1.2 GHz application processor with advanced 3D graphics and 1080p
multimedia, ensuring a feature-rich, fast and exceptionally smooth user
experience. Additionally, the processor's extremely high power efficiency and
true multitasking capabilities is intended to enable OEMs to design mobile
devices that represent a significant leap beyond today's most advanced
smartphone and tablet devices. The platform will support all leading OS
platforms.

Marvell will demonstrate the newest version of Kinoma Play in Barcelona
at Mobile World Congress (Courtyard CY15). For those unable to see Kinoma
Play in person, a video showing the speed, elegance, and simplicity of Kinoma
Play is available on the Marvell web site.
