ftc, Don't get so excited! I said "in everything from the router to a hairbrush". C'mon. Are you just peeved at the decline? The whole market is. Have you been over at Yahoo? It's OK, MRVL will be right back leading the techs when the rally starts. So will BRCM. It's just that the whole world is starting to catch on that the bills aren't getting paid and people are starving to death or at least going hungry. That's common in some places, but not so much in the western world. MRVL might even get back down cheaper to buy by the time I'm done with QID, DXD, TWM and SDS. That'd be cool.
I've also posted before where I believed that the WiFi/wireless dept of MRVL could become bigger than the PXAxxx (formerly Xscale) and that division has grown to where RIMM has become a 10% customer, whereas Samsung, and Western Digital were the only ones since Seagate bought Maxtor and Seagate is buying more to possibly be some day. Although as MRVL increases revenue that 10% mark may become harder to obtain and that's a good thing. MRVL had WiFi before the first Feroceon chips, Orion, were being tested in May of 2005, I believe. They were already working on 8.11n. I don't know that there is any Feroceon technology in WiFi or not, but MRVL lists Feroceon and Shiva on the media vault pages and you can find them in NAS devices all of which are as an application processor. MRVL lists Pico stuff with it's WiFi. WiFi and Blue have been built on ARM technology, so I don't know for sure that there are none or any with Feroceon. But WiFi has been around longer than Feroceon. The 8.11n may well be. The 8.11a/b/g probably not as the first Feroceon was 2005. MRVL had WiFi and founded late '90 and going public around 2001, if I remember right. Sehat announced the Feroceon and stated that they had 5 years working on it. MRVL made 8.11a/b/g much earlier than Feroceon. The 8.11 time lines are 1997 to '99 for the a/b and '03 for the g. That's 2 years before Feroceon. It's possible that that technology has been incorporated into some or all of their WiFi, but why rework a net card or chip that was just developed and spend again, or make the sucker and sell it. It is possible that the 8.11n could be but fail to see where variable piplineing out of order instructions would benefit a network construction that yields to the strongest signal. Whereas WiMax will latch like DSL, WiFi is a tramp and will talk to the first and then strongest, losing previous connect. I've my doubts as to Feroceon in WiFi, but would love to see the text. It's not important enough for my curiosity. MRVL's pre-existing before Feroceon WiFi was power misery enough. The multiple streams of 8.11n may just be a reason for that technology, but if 8.11a/g work with 1 antenna they won't need 3 on a cell phone.
