Marvell's ARMADA 1000 Powers OnLive's Cloud-Gaming System
Marvell's award-winning ARMADA 1000 processor shows its versatility and continues to gain industry momentum in a new application segment
Santa Clara, California (January 5, 2011) – Marvell (Nasdaq: MRVL), a worldwide leader in integrated silicon solutions, today announced that OnLive® is using award-winning ARMADA™ 1000 HD Media System on a Chip (SoC) with Qdeo™ video processing in its new OnLive Gaming Console to bring cloud gaming into the living room. Powered by the ARMADA 1000 SoC, this new groundbreaking gaming platform enables a full HD gaming experience with a multitude of easily accessible games over broadband connection.
"Marvell is developing innovative technologies that seamlessly connect all of the devices in our lives. We see tremendous opportunity as cloud-based content becomes fully mainstream and enables a truly mobile lifestyle across devices, screens and formats," said Weili Dai, Co-founder of Marvell. "The ability to deliver compelling HD and 3D live video content from the cloud to the living room and to virtually any device with a screen is unprecedented. Our technologies are creating new possibilities across the consumer electronics landscape, and we're proud to team with OnLive to deliver the first such cloud-based gaming experience to market."
"The OnLive Game System is a groundbreaking product, not only pioneering the entirely new era of cloud gaming, but at 3 x 5 inches and 6 watts while delivering state-of-the-art games at 1080p60 with 3D and surround sound, utterly redefines the concept of a game console," said Steve Perlman, founder and CEO of OnLive. "To achieve these design constraints, OnLive required an exceptionally high-performance, high-quality, very low-power, yet extremely flexible SoC to accommodate OnLive's highly-advanced proprietary technology. The ARMADA 1000 not only met, but exceeded our requirements, resulting in a superb and unprecedented gaming experience today, with the best yet to come."
The Marvell ARMADA 1000 SoC is a high-definition advanced video and audio decoder that provides dual-stream, multi-standard video decode and audio functionalities, along with a graphics pipeline that can enable rich and sophisticated user interfaces. The ARMADA SoC also integrates the award-winning Qdeo™ processing, performing per-pixel 3D noise reduction, 3D de-interlacing, scaling, natural depth expansion, intelligent color remapping and adaptive contrast enhancement. The ARMADA 1000 also incorporates support for 3D Blu-ray playback, to offer service providers like OnLive with a full suite of capabilities for current and future gaming standards.
