"This has been a tremendous quarter for Marvell in terms of solid revenue growth
and record revenues," stated Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell's President and CEO.
"We have attained significant industry milestones with the announcement of our
world-class storage and communications products. We debuted the industry's first
Serial ATA interface solution, which has rapidly gained momentum and is expected
to be adopted into a wide range of storage applications from enterprise to
mobile computing. We also continued to strengthen our leadership position in
Gigabit networking with the newest members of our Alaska(TM) family, the Alaska
X 10 Gigabit transceiver and the Alaska Quad fiber transceiver. Our Alaska X
device is the first 10 Gigabit transceiver in the industry to achieve
transmission over 60 inches of generic FR4 PCB copper traces as demonstrated
with Tyco Electronics' high speed connector, and our Alaska Quad fiber device is
the industry's first PHY to standardize on the GMII/RGMII interface for both
fiber and copper applications, allowing for more highly manageable and flexible
Gigabit systems."

"Marvell also introduced our revolutionary Prestera(TM) architecture, the
world's first high-density Gigabit switches to scale from Gigabit to the desktop
to terabit routing, which has received wide industry acceptance. In addition, we
announced the industry's first integrated small office/home office switches
optimized for converged voice/video/data. With our switched Ethernet products,
Alaska Gigabit and 10 Gigabit transceivers and our system and communications
controllers, Marvell offers customers a complete suite of world-class broadband
communications solutions," concluded Dr. Sutardja.
