Did you know…?
There are billions of power supplies in use worldwide in computing, telecommunications, and consumer electronics? The average desktop PC wastes half of the power delivered to it? And computing power demands are growing, as users increase and as applications become more and more power intensive?
Marvell recognizes that we all have a responsibility to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint. As such Marvell is committed to developing and implementing green technology as both a supplier and user of IT technology.
