The release of the ARMADA 618 chip has been announced by the mobile devices chipmaker Marvell. The new processor is meant for high-end smartphones and has an integrated encoder and decoder used for both capturing and playing back of 1,080-pixel videos. It also provides relatively quick 3D graphics. The processor runs at 1GHz and seems to be the fastest LP-DDR memory of the industry, with a certain cut down on access times.

The ARMADA 618 relies on the ARM7 architecture and has only a 12mm square footprint. LP-DDR1 or LP-DDR2 RAM up to 533MHz is compatible. The display controller is able to drive up to four displays simultaneously with a maximum resolution of 2K by 2K. DirectX, OpenVG 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 are supported. Compatibility with Linux, Windows Mobile and Android operating systems is provided and the processor is optimized for Adobe Flash.

The ARMADA 600 series of application processors can be used for high-end products like smartphones, tablets and e-book readers. The chip manufacturer Marvell will present the ARMADA 618 processor at the Mobile World Congress show.
