Template:mpu ARMADA 618 was a 32-bit ARM microprocessor introduced by Marvell in 2009. This processor, which is based on Marvell's Sheeva PJ4 microarchitecture, operated at 1 GHz and supported up to 2 GiB of DDR3-1066 memory. The ARMADA 618 also incorporated a fairly powerful GPU.

[Edit/Modify Cache Info]

Cache Organization Cache is a hardware component containing a relatively small and extremely fast memory designed to speed up the performance of a CPU by preparing ahead of time the data it needs to read from a relatively slower medium such as main memory. The organization and amount of cache can have a large impact on the performance, power consumption, die size, and consequently cost of the IC. Cache is specified by its size, number of sets, associativity, block size, sub-block size, and fetch and write-back policies. Note: All units are in kibibytes and mebibytes.
