The Marvell PXA168 is based on a new innovative architecture that delivers the processing capabilities of an entry-level laptop to instant-on, digital consumer devices by enabling full-featured web surfing, Internet widgets, multi-format video, Adobe Flash-based content playback, image processing, video conferencing and advanced graphical user interfaces (GUIs) - at consumer price points with ultra-low power for longer battery life. Incorporating Marvell Sheeva technology, this new class of applications processor is scalable beyond 1GHz to enable converged consumer devices."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//spt/auto/1231861438.usr2.gif" /></p><p>ASUS may have packed&nbsp;an impressive PXA930 800MHz processor into its&nbsp;<a href="http://au.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=11&amp;l2=55&amp;l3=526&amp;l4=0&amp;model=2634&amp;modelmenu=1" target="_blank">P565</a>, but it's already looking a little feeble next to the <a href="http://www.marvell.com/products/cellular/marvell_pxa168_applications_processor_sheeva/release/1199/" target="_blank">PXA168</a>, Marvell's newest kid on the block.

It's exciting to see the speed ticking up - a 1 Ghz CPU, combined with real GPU hardware acceleration could do some impressive things.
