Digit news - Marvell chips speed mobile Web browsing:

Marvell acquired the Xscale series of processors from Intel and the new range PXA 300, PXA 310 and PXA 320 chips are the first fruits of the acquisition.

They are designed to be used in mobile devices where computing power is needed, but also good power consumption - they can adjust their processing speed as required.

The PXA 300 is designed for low cost applications, the 310 for numeric applications and the 320 for video.

They can run up to 1.2GHz, though current versions run at 800MHz.
