Rumor: Nintendo’s Upcoming 3DS To Be Powered By A Marvell CPU?

You might remember reports of Marvell’s Armada processors a year or so back, and now speculation is going around that Nintendo’s upcoming 3DS portable 3D gaming console could be powered by silicon from Marvell. Speculation arose after the company’s co-founder Sehat Sutardja claimed that approximately 15% of the sequential increase in quarterly sales was due to the initial production revenue from their Armada application processors, a result of a major customer preparing to launch a new gaming platform. While there wasn’t any specific mention of the Nintendo 3DS, there aren’t too many (if any) gaming consoles that are slated to be launched soon, so all eyes are currently on Nintendo’s 3DS.
