At MWC on Tuesday, Marvell introduced the Armada Mobile PXA 1928 platform. The silicon slinger's co-founder and president Weilei Dei said, "The 64-bit Armada Mobile PXA 1928 is the latest addition to our industry-leading single-chip, multi-core mobile processor family."The SoC includes a quad-core, 1.5GHz Cortex A53-based CPU and a Full HD-capable GC5000 GPU.
The Armada Mobile PXA 1928 supports a number of connectivity options including LTE TDD/FDD, HSPA+, TD-HSPA+, and EDGE. It also supports VoLTE service.
