These interconnected parts are tied together through the visual experience best accelerated with the GPU," said Wei-Jin Dai, President and CEO of Vivante. "We are excited to be part of the Armada 1500 multimedia platform and look forward to the ongoing collaboration with Marvell, content providers and ecosystem partners to bring novel concepts to the living room."
