Marvell Has Tri-Core 1.5Ghz Chip For Smartphones

If Samsung has a dual-core processor for smartphones, Marvell has a tri-core and it clocks very impressively at 1.5GHz. It is named the Armada 628 and because it is a full System on a Chip, the Armada 628 can handle full Flash, Open GL ES 2.0, DirectX, 1080p dual stream 3D video applications at 30 frames per second, 3D renderings of 200 million triangles per second, and can plays nice with USB 3.0 and HDMI outputs. Despite all this processing power, Marvell claims the Armada 628 eats up less battery life than dual core processors, and can handle 10 hours of 1080p HD video playback or 140 hours of music on a single charge.

I wonder who among the iPad contenders is going to take advantage of this technology?
