Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

     In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release Nos. 33-8216 and 34-47583, the following information, which is intended to be furnished under Item 12, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition,” is instead being furnished under Item 9, “Regulation FD Disclosure.” The information in this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

     On May 22, 2003, Marvell Technology Group, Ltd. (“Marvell”) held a conference call related to it financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2003. A copy of the transcript of the conference call, including the question and answer session immediately following the call, is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

     The following non-GAAP financial measures were discussed during the conference call: pro forma net income (loss) and basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude the effects of acquisition-related expenses, amortization of stock-based compensation and charges related to facilities consolidation. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure was included in the financial statements portion of the press release which was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed by Marvell on May 22, 2003.

     Marvell’s management believes the non-GAAP information is useful because it can enhance the understanding of the company’s ongoing economic performance and Marvell therefore uses pro forma reporting internally to evaluate and manage the company’s operations. Marvell has chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform comparisons of operating results in a manner similar to how the company analyzes its operating results.

Operator:             Ladies and gentlemen thank you for standing by. Welcome to
                      the Marvell Technology Group First Quarter Fiscal Year
                      2004 conference call.

                      During the presentation all participants will be in a
                      listen-only mode. After the presentation you will be
                      invited to participate in the question and answer session.
                      At that time we ask all participants to please limit
                      themselves to one question to allow time for others.

                      This conference call is being recorded on Thursday, May
                      22, 2003. I will now turn the conference call over to
                      Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Marvell
                      Semiconductor, Dr. Sehat Sutardja. Please go ahead doctor.

Sehat Sutardja:       Thank you (Paul). Welcome everyone to our First Quarter
                      Fiscal Year 2004 conference call. Weili Dai, Executive
                      Vice President of the Communications Business Group, and
                      George Hervey, Vice President of Finance and Chief
                      Financial Officer, are joining me on this call.

                      By now I am sure that everyone is totally confused on the
                      direction of the general economy conditions. Not helping
                      much this past March we have

                                                  Moderator:  Dr. Sehat Sutardja
                                                             05-22-03/3:45 pm CT
                                                            Confirmation #521891
                                                                          Page 2

                      stated in our previous quarter call that we were upbeat
                      about this coming year yet our tone was more conservative
                      on the financial projections for the year.

                      The reason for this was because on one hand even though we
                      have plenty of good news to talk about such as having many
                      industry leading new products and solutions that our
                      customers need plus having the industry leaders as our
                      customers. At the same there was plenty of concerning news
                      that may offset the good news including things like the
                      global threat of war and more recently the concern of SARS
                      and potential deflation.

                      When I have talked to our customers in the past even they
                      were confused about the economy. However, more recently
                      many of our customers are projecting better growth ahead
                      even though their competitors may not be doing as well.

                      While this may not be the good news that everyone is
                      looking about, to us it is very good news indeed. Many of
                      our customers have been gaining market share over the past
                      several years and as a result even in the current
                      prolonged industry downturn we have been able to grow by
                      growing market share away from our competitors.

                      We are now even more encouraged that the balance of the
                      year will be a good one for us as during the first quarter
                      of this year we have seen additional improvements in our
                      large customer base.

                      Before I review the progress of business further I would
                      like George to provide our Safe Harbor Statement and the
                      review of our Q1 financials.

George Hervey:        Thank you Sehat. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I'd
                      like to remind all participants that the following

                                                                          Page 3

                      and other forward-looking statements covering subjects
                      such as data storage, communications market trends,
                      competition, customers, suppliers, products and demand,
                      revenue growth, gross margin expectations, operating
                      expenses, other income, accounts receivable, and
                      inventory. Such statements may be preceded by the words
                      like expects, anticipates, believes, should, will, may, or
                      words with similar import.

                      The following factors among others could cause actual
                      results to differ materially from those described in the
                      forward-looking statements. They include the inability to
                      further identify, develop, and achieve success for new
                      products, services and technologies, increased competition
                      and its affect on pricing, spending, third party
                      relationships and revenues as well as the inability to
                      establish and maintain relationships with commerce,
                      advertising, marketing, and technology providers.

                      We direct your attention to our annual report on Form
                      10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on
                      Forms 8-K, and other Securities & Exchange Commission
                      filings all of which discuss other important risk factors
                      that may affect our business, results of operations, and
                      financial condition.

                      Please be reminded that we undertake no obligation to
                      revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement
                      for any reason.

                      Now moving to the Q1 financials. Marvell reports net
                      income/loss and basic and diluted net income/loss per
                      share in accordance with GAAP and additionally on a
                      non-GAAP basis referred to as proforma.

                      Marvell's management believes that non-GAAP information is
                      useful because it can enhance the understanding of the
                      company's ongoing economic

                                                   Moderator: Dr. Sehat Sutardja
                                                             05-22-03/3:45 pm CT
                                                            Confirmation #521891
                                                                          Page 4

                      performance. And Marvell therefore uses proforma reporting
                      internally to evaluate and management the company's
                      operations.

                      Marvell has chosen to provide this information to
                      investors to enable them to perform comparisons of
                      operating results in a manner similar to how the company
                      analyses its operating results.

                      Today we reported that net revenue for the first quarter
                      of fiscal year 2004 was a record $168.3 million, an
                      increase of 70% over the $98.8 million reported for the
                      comparable quarter in fiscal year 2003 and a sequential
                      increase of 12% from the fourth quarter of fiscal year
                      2003.

                      Proforma net income -- which excludes the effect of
                      acquisition related expenses, amortization of stock based
                      compensation, and charges related to facilities
                      consolidation -- was $24.5 million or 19 cents per share
                      diluted for the first quarter of fiscal year 2004 compared
                      with proforma net income of $10.5 million or 8 cents per
                      share diluted for the first quarter of fiscal 2003.

                      Shares used in computing proforma earnings per share
                      diluted for the first quarter of 2004 were $129.6 million
                      compared to $132.5 million shares for the first quarter of
                      2003.

                      This quarter we achieved an important milestone. Net
                      income on the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles --
                      GAAP -- was $4.4 million or 3 cents per share diluted.
                      This represents our first quarter of GAAP profitability
                      since our acquisition of Galileo Technology Limited in the
                      fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.

                      We have provided on our website in the Investors section
                      at www.marvell.com a reconciliation of GAAP net income or
                      loss to proforma net income for the quarter reported to
                      date plus the prior eight quarters.

                      Now I'd like to turn the call back to Sehat for comments
                      on our business outlook.

Sehat Sutardja:       Thank you George. One question that I keep getting all
                      the time is, how is it possible that Marvell continues to
                      grow so much faster than the rest of industry. It is one
                      thing to be able to do this when Marvel was a small
                      company a few years back. Sooner or later the law of large
                      numbers will start to affect our growth rate.

                      I agree. However, it's all relative. Many of the market
                      segments that we address are very large in dollar size. So
                      that even though our revenues are considerable when
                      compared to other businesses we have only barely scratched
                      the surface.

                      Remember Marvell is only an eight year old company. One
                      thing that you should realize is that as a young company
                      we were initially forced to nibble at smaller business
                      opportunities that were so much more challenging to
                      address.

                      As we are maturing as a company and have entered the more
                      mainstream markets we have consistently raised the
                      technology bar enabling our customers to improve their
                      products as well as presenting a formidable competitive
                      challenge for other suppliers in those markets.

                      As we have proven ourselves over time to be the leading
                      player in the market segments that we have addressed, we
                      are now seeing significant opportunities that were
                      previously not available to us.

                      In fact some very large professional customers are seeking
                      to work with us as they have seen the technology and
                      products we have delivered to the competitors are truly
                      state of the art and we actually have a lower risk
                      (unintelligible) compared to the existing supplier base.

                      On top of that many of our customers and potential new
                      customers have realized that despite the fact that the end
                      products they build may be considered commodities due to
                      the large volume nature of the market the underlying
                      technology that we provide is beyond state of the art.

                      We are already seeing fewer and fewer companies can
                      address this market. In both the storage and communication
                      markets we are now providing more complete solutions from
                      single chip devices to (unintelligible) chip set solutions
                      with device drivers and application software support
                      packages.

                      Our relationships with our customers have grown from just
                      a supplier and customer model to a more long term
                      partnership model. This a very exciting time for us
                      indeed.

                      Many of our customers are actively working with us to
                      address new market segments or market segments that they
                      have not previously addressed so that they can grow their
                      businesses beyond the traditional market segments.

                      As we provide them with the necessary tools and solutions
                      to address these new markets we are optimistic about our
                      future growth and also growth rate over the next several
                      years.

                      Many of the technologies that we have developed during in
                      the past eight years of our existence provide key
                      foundations on which we will build our

                      future. Our storage (unintelligible) solutions incorporate
                      the industry leading highest rechannel devices together
                      with the industry highest performance imbedded
                      (unintelligible) processor and many other must-have
                      features including the future serial ATA 1 and 2
                      capabilities.

                      Our gigabit Ethernet devices incorporate our patented
                      virtual cable tester feature which allows network
                      providers to perform remote diagnostics at the customer's
                      site thus lowering the cost of supporting the end user
                      communication infrastructure.

                      Our wireless LAN 802.11 solutions are designed to
                      specifically handle severe multi-path distortion found in
                      home environments assuring consistent quality of service.
                      This technology is absolutely a must for distributing
                      video and audio content throughout the home using wireless
                      LAN technology.

                      Our wireless LAN products have also been designed
                      specifically to consume less power so that they can be
                      more useful for light battery operation.

                      In summary we don't just build products to meet industry
                      specifications but more importantly we build products to
                      work in real world conditions. With so many business
                      opportunities emerging over the last year we have expanded
                      our design centers throughout the world. We now have
                      design centers in California, Colorado, Israel, Singapore,
                      Germany, and Japan to better serve our customers. Even
                      during the downturn we have aggressively expanded our
                      design team.

                      With a combined work force of about 1,400 people we
                      probably have one of the largest engineering teams in our
                      business. About half of the team is working on new
                      products that will contribute to our future growth to
                      ensure the continuing rapid growth of the company.

                      Now I would like to give you some specific updates on our
                      products. At the recent NetWorldInteropTrade Show we
                      demonstrated our 802.11g solutions, side by side with
                      competing solutions providing our customers the
                      opportunity to compare the solutions against each other in
                      an open public area.

                      To their surprise all the existing 802.11 solutions that
                      we benchmarked at the NetWorldInterop Show have
                      significant deficiencies in the coexistence operation with
                      the 11b solution.

                      In all cases existing 11g solutions actually performed no
                      better than the 11b solutions. We've also heard that many
                      earlier 11g solutions actually prevent the existing 11b
                      solutions from operating when these 11g solutions are
                      deployed giving a false impression that these defective
                      11g solutions are better than 11b solutions.

                      In the short time that we have sampled our 11g solutions
                      we have demonstrated high data rate 11g solutions
                      operating in coexistence with existing 11b solutions. We
                      are very excited on the performance of our 11g solutions.
                      Again this proves that we are not just building need to
                      products but products that perform better in real world
                      conditions.

                      In the gigabit networking space we continue to gain new
                      design wins for our Prestera silicon solutions across the
                      peer one customer base. At the NetWorldInterop show we
                      also demonstrated a two chip 48-port gigabit switch
                      silicon solution as well as introducing our latest family
                      of silicon to address not only the metro and enterprise
                      market that we addressed originally with our Prestera
                      solution but also the lower cost value line of gigabit
                      Ethernet switching that is expected to replace the current
                      value line Ethernet switching.

                      We continue to be bullish on the gigabit market as we
                      continue to lead the market with more and more complete
                      solutions.

                      As to our progress in addressing the consumer space we are
                      happy to report that we are well on our way in the
                      development of several initial new products that leverage
                      our existing technologies to address potentially very
                      large market opportunities.

                      Our belief is that in the next few years we will see
                      continuing faster growths in the consumer entertainment
                      businesses. And we would like to make sure that we are
                      well prepared to address this market.

                      Now I would like to turn the call back to George for
                      additional comments regarding our Q1 financials and
                      forward guidance.

George Hervey:        Thank you Sehat. First I'd like to make some additional
                      comments on our Q1 results. Our Q1 revenue of $168.3
                      million was a new quarterly record for the company and a
                      70% increase from Q1 last year.

                      Additionally the 12% increase in revenue from Q4 to Q1
                      compares very favorably to our guidance of a 7% to 9%
                      sequential quarterly increase in revenue.

                      The Q1 sequential increase of 12% represents the sixth
                      consecutive quarter that our sequential revenue growth has
                      been greater than 10%. During Q1 both our storage and
                      communications businesses performed well resulting in
                      increasing revenue for both businesses.

                      Entering the first quarter and reflected in our Q1 revenue
                      guidance was the anticipation that we would experience the
                      historical pattern of the first

                      calendar quarter of the year experiencing varying levels
                      of seasonality when compared to the fourth calendar
                      quarter.

                      Seasonality is most evident in the PC market and we
                      expected some moderate level of seasonality in Q1. As we
                      progressed through the quarter it became apparent that
                      there would be little to no seasonality during Q1. And the
                      business momentum improved as we exited the quarter.

                      In Q1 the main growth drivers for our revenue increase
                      remained, the continued increase of adoption gigabit
                      Ethernet by the PC client market, increases in production
                      ramps for our current SOC solutions in the desktop storage
                      segment as well as increasing production shipments for our
                      newest desktop storage opportunity.

                      During the quarter we also saw an increase in gigabit
                      Ethernet shipments for the networking infrastructure and
                      the initial volume shipments of our wireless 802.11b
                      products.

                      At the recent NetWorldInterop Show we displayed customer
                      products from NetGear and Linksys incorporating our
                      wireless 802.11b technology. For the quarter storage
                      products contributed low to mid 50% of total revenue with
                      communications products representing the balance.

                      We are very pleased with our gross margin percentage for
                      Q1. Q1 gross margin of 54.8% was over 100 basis points
                      higher than our guidance of 53.5 plus or minus 25 basis
                      points.

                      There were several factors that contributed positively to
                      our gross margin percentage. First as we have mentioned
                      during the last several calls our

                                                                         Page 11

                      manufacturing efficiency and benefits from our yield
                      improvement programs continue to produce very cost
                      effective products.

                      Second, our customers value the technology that we provide
                      to them for their products and realize that in order to
                      provide our high level of technology and continued product
                      development we must deliver them cost effective products
                      at reasonable prices.

                      Finally, product mix -- which is the largest determiner of
                      gross margin percentage -- was quite favorable in Q1.

                      Our proforma operating expense percentage continues to
                      decline as a percentage of revenue. And the Q1 proforma
                      operating expense percentage of 39% was consistent with
                      our guidance.

                      For the seventh consecutive quarter we increased our
                      proforma operating income percent. Our continued double
                      digit sequential revenue growth, strong gross margin
                      percentage contribution, and decreasing proforma operating
                      expenses as a percentage of revenue resulted in 150 basis
                      point increase in Q1 proforma operating income from 14.2%
                      to 15.7%.

                      The strength of our balance sheet continued to improve in
                      Q1. We increased our cash and short term investments by
                      approximately $34 million to $299 million.

                      DSOs for Q1 decreased to 48 days from 51 days at Q4. Our
                      DSOs continue to remain in the range of our guidance of
                      high 40s to low 50 days. DSOs are likely to remain at the
                      high end of our range during these periods of rapid
                      revenue growth.

                      During Q1 we increased our inventory by approximately $7
                      million to support the current and projected growth of our
                      business. Our days of inventory increased from 51 days to
                      55 days.

                      We will continue to monitor our production levels going
                      forward with the goal of putting us in the most favorable
                      position to respond to increases in demand for our
                      products.

                      Now turning to the future. We have just completed our
                      first quarter of fiscal year 2004. And we'd like to take
                      this opportunity to update our guidance regarding the
                      financial outlook for the company for fiscal '04.

                      On our Q4 earnings call we discussed that entering fiscal
                      '04 we believe our strong product portfolio has increased
                      a number of major revenue opportunities and we are looking
                      forward to another year of significant growth.

                      In our storage business we expect our new desktop
                      opportunity to reach volume production as we progress
                      through the year. And serial ATA to ramp more
                      significantly in the second half.

                      In our communications business our strong design win
                      position with the Alaska Fi and Prestera switching
                      products should benefit us as gigabit Ethernet is more
                      widely deployed in the network infrastructure.

                      Based on customer feedback and design win success we
                      believe that our Yukon gigabit Ethernet LAN motherboard
                      for the PC client and our wireless 802.11b and g products
                      will provide us with significant revenue opportunities
                      during this next year.

                                                                         Page 13

                      During Q1 our visibility into how these major revenue
                      opportunities would contribute to our fiscal '04 revenue
                      improved. That coupled with better visibility for our
                      designs that are currently in production provides us the
                      opportunity to achieve more revenue growth than we
                      anticipated entering fiscal '04.

                      Based on all these factors we now expect our revenue for
                      fiscal '04 to range between $760 million to $790 million
                      -- which at the mid-point is approximately a 53% growth
                      from fiscal '03.

                      For the balance of fiscal '04 we believe that our gross
                      margin percentage will remain above our long term model of
                      52% but below the Q1 level of 54.8%. And R&D and SG&A as a
                      percentage of revenue should continue to decline.

                      Now moving more specifically to Q2 '04 while we remain
                      cautious regarding the overall economy and potential
                      recovery in IT spending as I mentioned in my discussion of
                      Q1 we exited Q1 with significant momentum generated by our
                      strong market position, broad product portfolio, and
                      increasing number of design wins for those products.

                      This has resulted in our visibility for Q2 improving when
                      compared to our visibility entering Q1. The targeted
                      company revenue for Q2 to increase 10% to 12% for Q1.

                      The product mix of shipments in Q1 was very favorable
                      helping to generate the 54.8% gross margin. While we
                      believe that normal ASP declines will be offset by
                      continued reduction in our manufacturing costs the
                      anticipated product mix of our shipments in Q2 will be
                      more consistent with what we have experienced over the
                      last several quarters. This should result in Q2 gross
                      margin of 54% plus or minus 25 basis points.

                      With our focus set on providing the technologies,
                      products, and building a company structure to support long
                      term growth, R&D and SG&A in absolute dollars will
                      increase in Q2 but decline approximately 100 basis points
                      as a percentage of revenue from Q1.

                      Interest and other income should remain consistent with
                      the Q1 level.

                      Now I'd like to turn the call back to Sehat.

Sehat Sutardja:       Thank you George. That completes our commentary. (Paul)
                      would you please poll for questions. (Paul)?

Operator:             Ladies and gentlemen as a reminder please press star then
                      the number 1 on your telephone keypad. Your first question
                      is from (Cody Acreen) with Legg Mason.

(Cody Acreen):        Guys as always congratulations on a great quarter. Maybe
                      you can tell us a little bit about where you're seeing the
                      most strength in the outlook. Is it evenly split between
                      the two divisions or are you seeing one or the other
                      giving you the most impetus for this revision upward?

George Hervey:        Well you know as we've been discussing we've been in a
                      number of investor conferences so far this year. And one
                      of the themes that we've, I think, consistently mentioned
                      to investors is the number of revenue opportunities for
                      Marvell greatly increased this year - as I kind of
                      outlined.

                      So these are all starting to have impact and, you know,
                      not everyone is exactly the same but they are now all
                      contributing. And in the back half of the year

                                                            Confirmation #521891

                      we would expect more contribution as I mentioned from the
                      network infrastructure and serial ATA.

                      So, you know, while we're excited about all of them, you
                      know, they all have positive contribution and also as I
                      mentioned now with the better visibility also into our
                      existing business across a number of our products this
                      gives us the added, you know, encouragement to raise the
                      number.

(Cody Acreen):        I'm sorry. Was there anything else?

George Hervey:        No that's it.

(Cody Acreen):        Can you talk a little bit about the decisions that are
                      going on in the motherboard market with this Springdale
                      launch. How those decisions as far as their gigabit
                      Ethernet usage are coming to bear and where do you think
                      this shakes out as far as market share for the rest of the
                      year?

Sehat Sutardja:       Weili do you want to answer it?

Weili Dai:            Yeah and as you guys know the partnership with Intel has
                      been extremely successful and obviously the Springdale
                      event again confirmed the success of this joint
                      partnership. And we'll be seeing this moving forward
                      sometime in the year, I think, that the PC
                      (unintelligible) will be the next wave.

                      As far as the conversion from fast to gig it obviously is
                      happening. And we continue to believe by the end of this
                      year the majority of the PC - for the corporate side of PC
                      is going to convert to gigabit.

Sehat Sutardja:       I would like to add a little bit on the Springdale. If you
                      noticed the Springdale incorporates serial ATA so this is
                      a huge milestone for serial ATA. We

                      anticipate that by the middle of next year the majority of
                      the storage will move to serial ATA . And the Springdale
                      introduction is a huge milestone for them.

(Cody Acreen):        Maybe specifically back though to the motherboard
                      decisions that are going on - alot of those obviously
                      yesterday with the launch now coming out. We're seeing you
                      having a solid share within those releases.

                      How are - I guess what is driving the decisions to use
                      yours versus some of the SCA - the Intel based versus some
                      of the competition?

George Hervey:        Yeah (Cody) I don't think we want to, you know, go into a
                      lot of discussion about that. You know, we remain very
                      committed with our partner and I think, you know, that
                      would probably be an area that we don't want to go down.

                      We're very pleased, you know, with the adoption of our
                      technology and our partner's technology across the
                      platforms that were announced yesterday. I think we'll
                      leave it at.

(Cody Acreen):        And lastly any updates on IBM and Hitachi?

George Hervey:        Not that we're specifically going to discuss here. We're -
                      as we've mentioned there's a lot of discussions going on.
                      You know, we've been a key supplier to Hitachi for a
                      number of years and we feel good about the opportunities
                      that...

Sehat Sutardja:       But you can assume when we said we are building long term
                      partnerships with our customers we really mean it. Okay?
                      IBMs and Hitachis are no different. We're building -
                      continue to build stronger and stronger relationship with
                      our customers.

(Cody Acreen):        Guys congrats and thank you again.

Operator:             Again ladies and gentlemen we ask that you please limit
                      yourselves to one question to allow time for others. Your
                      next question is from (Michael Madea) with CSFB.

(Michael Madea):      Great. Let me add my congratulations guys. It was a great
                      quarter. You guys made an interesting comment about your
                      first quarter - how you were expecting some seasonality
                      which ended up not being as seasonal as you thought.

                      When you look at your guidance for Q2 is that
                      incorporating seasonality again or are the orders so
                      strong that they're not looking for a seasonal account in
                      Q2.

George Hervey:        That's hard. Based on the orders the answer would be no.
                      We don't see any seasonality. But I mean there could still
                      be some there and just because of the strength of all the,
                      you know, design wins that we have we may just be growing
                      right through that.

                      But I think as Sehat mentioned, you know, the commentary
                      from customers is getting more positive and I think so
                      that's giving us a lot of, you know, more positive
                      feelings about Q2.

(Michael Madea):      Great. Just a quick follow-up if I may. Cisco has made
                      some aggressive moves into the gigabit Ethernet
                      infrastructure side driving down pricing. Are you guys
                      seeing that impact your business? It sounds like you might
                      be also. Is there any impact on ASPs and margins for you
                      guys? Is that starting to happen?

Weili Dai:            Yeah. The entrance of the Cisco launching gigabit - we're
                      very excited because we are the key supporter of that
                      since two years ago from technology side. And as you know
                      as volume goes up the cost efficiency is very important
                      and we're ready for that too.

George Hervey:        Right. I think our - we'll let our gross margins stand for
                      answering the part about, you know, our ability to be
                      competitive even in competitive markets.

(Michael Madea):      Great. Thanks.

Operator:             Your next question is from (Jeremy Bunting) with Thomas
                      Weisel Partners.

(Nevel Shaw):         Hi. Good afternoon. This is (Nevel Shaw). I just wanted to
                      ask - George I'm not sure if you mentioned your 10%
                      customers this quarter.

George Hervey:        No I did not do that (Nevel). It has been the trend, you
                      know, over the last couple of quarters with our revenue
                      growing as rapidly as it it's becoming a little higher bar
                      to become a 10% customer. So again we only have two 10%
                      customers in Q1 and they would be Intel and Samsung.

(Nevel Shaw):         Okay. Thanks George. I wanted to ask also you guys have
                      been increasing your R&D expenses as you, you know, expand
                      into mass markets. Can you discuss where you think that
                      R&D as a percentage of revenue may stabilize and when you
                      expect that to happen. Can we expect 18% operating margin
                      by the end of this fiscal year?

George Hervey:        We have adopted - or we're in compliance now with Reg G
                      and as a result - as we've discussed looking forward we're
                      no longer going to be in a position to speak about our
                      proforma operating income or our proforma EPS. We'll do

                                                                         Page 19

                      that on a historical basis only when we provide the
                      reconciliation in our earnings release.

                      I think if you look at the progress though that we have
                      made over the last seven quarters going from 2% now almost
                      to 16% it clearly gives you an indication of the path that
                      we're on.

(Nevel Shaw):         Okay. And if I could ask one last question regarding
                      Prestera. You guys mentioned Nortel in your last
                      conference call, I believe. And when can we expect Nortel
                      and some of the other design wins that we've heard about
                      for Prestera - when do you expect volume production on
                      that product and, you know, real significant revenues?

Weili Dai:            As far as (unintelligible) information we like to keep the
                      way we've been doing until our customers make an
                      announcement and we'll acknowledge that. But as far as
                      penetration for Prestera has been extremely successful.

George Hervey:        And we do expect higher revenue the back half of the year
                      for those.

(Nevel Shaw):         Okay. Thank you.

Operator:             Your next question is from (Arnub Shandra) with Lehman
                      Brothers.

(Arnub Shandra):      Thank you. And just not to basically repeat the
                      congratulations but move on to some of the interesting
                      questions. First of all could you talk a little bit about
                      Springdale - you were talking about, you know, some of the
                      design wins with your partner versus without. I think
                      Asustech talked yesterday - there were some products
                      announced.

                      If you could talk a little bit around what time frame
                      should we be able to see, you know, sort of talk about
                      design wins or what is going on with your Yukon product
                      especially in the PC as well as the white box industry.

George Hervey:        Well I think yesterday's action defined where the design
                      wins are. You know, we are - on the products that Asustech
                      announced yesterday through our partnership with 3Com
                      they're utilizing the Yukon on at least three of the
                      designs that I saw.

                      So, you know, I think you will see further potential
                      launches from other people. And, you know, we're moving,
                      you know, quite aggressively into white box market with
                      our partner 3Com to, you know, increase our market share.
                      You know, which by the way we had zero before entering
                      that earlier this year. So that's all new business for us.

(Arnub Shandra):      Thank you. And one last question. I wanted to speak about
                      what - if you talk a little bit about sort of what
                      opportunities exist in the drive market for you beyond
                      this year. You talked about consumer electronics
                      specifically - maybe we could flesh that out a little bit
                      after the Western Digital transition is over what should
                      we be looking for from that segment? Thank you.

Sehat Sutardja:       Sure (Arnub). The market for storage eventually is very
                      important. Storage is very important technology not just
                      for PCs or laptops or PCs or servers. Specifically we talk
                      a lot about consumers when the obvious consumer products
                      that will incorporate storage will be CDRs, DVD
                      combinations with CDRs, (unintelligible) receivers,
                      satellite - whether it's cable or satellite, GPS systems
                      for automotives, audio players like Ibox.

                      As the price of these devices, you know, go down, I mean,
                      the volumes will go up naturally. So it's - we're very
                      excited that by the end of this decade

                      probably the consumer side of the storage will be
                      significantly larger in market size compared to the
                      existing PC market. By a huge margin.

George Hervey:        Significant margin, yes.

(Arnub Shandra):      Thank you very much.

Operator:             Your next question is from (Jim Liang) with Pacific Growth
                      Equities.

(Jim Liang):          Thank you. Can you talk a bit about the average ASP per
                      port on gig-E client and expectations of that by year end?

Sehat Sutardja:       I don't think we should. I'm coming to understand that
                      it's better for us not to talk about ASP any longer.
                      Because it just gives too much information for our
                      competitors to react.

                      But I will say that we are competitive. We will be the
                      most competitive suppliers in the market. At the same
                      we'll make sure that we have a fair value for our
                      technology which is a (unintelligible) compared to some of
                      our competitors.

George Hervey:        I think it would also be reasonable to assume that over
                      time as volume increases, you know, this is semiconductor
                      so...

(Jim Liang):          Yeah. Sure.

George Hervey:        You could expect to see some normal pricing type of curve.

(Jim Liang):          Right. Just a second question. Can you talk a little on
                      the .13 micron plans?

Sehat Sutardja:       On progress. We (unintelligible). So we will - we use
                      whatever technologies that make sense for any given time.
                      So depending on which product lines, which time frame. It
                      also depends on the volume. We'll use different process
                      geometry.

                      But we as a company we're quite aggressive - considered
                      one of the most aggressive in the business in terms of
                      doing R&Ds on most advanced (unintelligible) geometry.

(Jim Liang):          On that front as far as your foundry partner any thoughts
                      on potentially qualifying a second foundry partner for
                      some of the more mature technology nodes?

Sehat Sutardja:       We do have, but we're just not talking about. So again I
                      would like to come from a position that if there's no
                      benefits for us to talk about it we'd rather, you know,
                      keep it simple. It gives the competitive advantage to us.

(Jim Liang):          Okay. Great quarter guys.

Sehat Sutardja:       Thank you.

Operator:             Ladies and gentlemen please limit yourselves to one

                      Your next question is from (Ambrius Surevtava) with (GKM).

(Ambrius Surevtava):  Hi. Thanks. In wireless LAN it's interesting to see that
                      you guys are beginning to show up in some of your
                      competitors' largest customers. What is the expectation
                      for that business in terms of either in just market share
                      you guys could get or units you can ship.

                      And a second quick follow-up what are you seeing in the
                      inventory level in the channel in the disk drive space?

Sehat Sutardja:       Okay. What you've seen are just the initial success of our
                      wireless products. As we have said for a long time when we
                      entered the wireless LAN our goal - our target market is
                      the - the eventual target market is the consumer space.

                      As you'll see also from some publications that the
                      wireless markets are split into enterprise markets and
                      consumers. And consumers are the most challenging of all
                      to address because of the reliability and robustness
                      requirement especially when these products are used to
                      distribute videos and audios to a lesser extent and can be
                      used more challengely obviously.

                      So our goal is to be the biggest - to get a huge - a
                      significant market share in the consumer space. That's
                      where the success will be measured. Who has the best
                      product in this market.

                      But it's too early for us to talk about what that goal is.
                      I guess you can say that we don't go into markets there.
                      We don't plan to seriously compete.

George Hervey:        On the storage side I think there's been a lot of
                      discussion, I think, on various levels of inventory. You
                      know, again I think it's really more asking our customers
                      about that than directly us. But the best way we can
                      measure how they're feeling about that issue is based on
                      the demand that they're placing on us. And that demand at
                      this point is pretty robust. So we're not getting any
                      indications that they're adjusting for any inventory
                      issues out there right now.

(Ambrius Surevtava):  Okay. Thanks.

Operator:             Your next question is from Jim Jungjohann with CIBC World
                      Markets.

Jim Jungjohann:       Hi guys. Just a customer question -- if I can get any info
                      out of you George -- but it sounded like Western wasn't a
                      10% customer. Can you kind of talk about that ramp there.
                      If you could give us any color on system on the chip
                      versus rechanneling that conversion.

                      And then on Intel - if just sales were up or down in the
                      quarter.

                      Any way I can get that?

George Hervey:        No not really. But, you know, we don't discuss, you know,
                      that level of detail. I think what we would say on what
                      Digital is - we're excited about the opportunity we have
                      there. We're working with it very closely.

                      And we're very pleased with the progress that's been made
                      so far and are looking forward to, you know, additional
                      progress being made as we move through the rest of the
                      year. So it is a very significant opportunity that we're
                      obviously very much focused on.

                      On the Intel what I would say is, you know, go back to
                      some of my comments on the seasonality and therefore the
                      lack of seasonality actually happening. And the fact that
                      the penetration of gigabit Ethernet on the client market,
                      you know, was only somewhere between 30% and 40% exiting
                      last year.

                      And, you know, as Weili said we expect it to be the
                      majority on the desktop before the end of this year. And
                      that is actually happening and did happen in -even Q - and
                      saw further penetration even in Q1.

Jim Jungjohann:       So on your Intel revenue guidance for the year is that
                      assuming down revenues trailing off or flat or anything...

George Hervey:        No we're not going to go there.

Operator:             Your next question is from (Carl Monte) with Wachovia
                      Securities.

(Carl Monte):         Thank you. Most of my questions have been answered. But
                      Sehat in your opening remarks I have a question and a
                      clarification. In your opening remarks you said that half
                      of your engineers were working on new products. Is that
                      correct?

Sehat Sutardja:       Yes approximately.

(Carl Monte):         Okay. And are these new products? Could you give us any
                      color? Are they in the current markets you serve or would
                      you be entering any new markets? And if so what kind of...

Sehat Sutardja:       I'm sorry. Go ahead.

(Carl Monte):         And if so what kind of incremental opportunity are you
                      looking at?

Sehat Sutardja:       All right. In combinations of existing markets we're
                      extending our - some of them are expanding our market
                      share with our customer base. And quite a bit of that
                      addressing new segments for the market.

                      Again some of this information is too sensitive to talk
                      about. But I can tell you that the - of all things that we
                      do - usually don't generate revenues for two years, three
                      years, and sometimes even longer.

                      And yet we realize that regardless of how expensive it is
                      to develop this technology we realize that this is the
                      only way for us to ensure the continued growth of the
                      company for the long term.

                      So we're very excited that we have our long term plan, you
                      know, and basically be able to support our long term
                      investment goals.

(Carl Monte):         Okay. Thank you.

Operator:             Your next question is with (David Wu) with Wedush Morgan
                      Securities.

(David Wu):           Yes I just want to get a couple of clarifications please
                      and a question. The clarification is, George when you
                      mention about the rich product mix I assume to get the
                      kind of margins you got the PC market and the notebooks
                      were stronger than the desktop for your drivers or your
                      drive customers in Q1. Am I correct on that assumption?

                      And the other one I have really was the - Dr. Sutardja we
                      have the Intel showing of - at the analyst meeting - a 90
                      millimeter gig-E chip and they said they got their first
                      silicon on those. Is the gig-E client the place where you
                      use the most advanced technology to get smaller die size
                      and lowest cost and lower power?

Sehat Sutardja:       Okay. Let me answer the second part first.

                                                                         Page 27

                      The - I'm not - you know, I'm not too familiar with what
                      exactly the process is they use.

(David Wu):           CMOS.

Sehat Sutardja:       Yeah I mean geometries or die sizes and so on. But I can
                      be - I'm pretty sure that our solutions are very very
                      competitive in terms of - we've been seeing smaller die
                      sizes. And our devices are scalable. We can use any
                      geometry. We've proven over the years that our devices can
                      shrink when the time is right. We use smaller process
                      geometry when the yield is good. Whenever the profits
                      mature.

                      So - but having said that it's not about process geometry.
                      It's about the reliability of performance, about longer
                      range, about features. Okay we have patented VCT
                      technology where our customer can do diagnostics on the
                      cable problems.

                      So this is - the time to talk about process probably was
                      about two years ago when we were nobody. But at this point
                      we really - what customers are talking to us - is really
                      who has the proven products in the market.

George Hervey:        On the first question what I think I would point you to
                      (David) is a couple of commentary from our customers
                      actually. We are going down the right path. But I think if
                      you look at some of the strength within the storage
                      business in the enterprise area, you know - and obviously
                      with our dominant market share in that segment, you know,
                      any strength there is very positive for us.

                      And then second, Intel was making some relatively positive
                      comments relative to Centrino's adoption and therefore
                      improving a mix of mobile PCs

                      versus desktops. And of course we would agree with that.
                      We have seen that. And of course that is also beneficial
                      to our margins.

Operator:             Your next question is from (Quinn Bolton) with
                      Oppenheimer.

(Quinn Bolton):       Hi guys. Congratulations on a good quarter. Just a
                      clarification and then a couple of questions. One on the
                      parts that were just discussed earlier on the call that
                      you've won at Asustech, you know, those look like they're
                      branded three com ports. I just wanted to clarify - are
                      these internally designed both by Mac from Marvell or is
                      this a 3Com Mac? If it's internally designed - it's
                      entirely internally designed by Marvell why the 3Com
                      branding? And then a couple of follow ones.

George Hervey:        (Quinn) I think if you remember back to late last year
                      when we announced our, you know, new partnership with 3Com
                      as, you know, a very prominent supplier of client-based
                      products, we said that, you know, many of the Yukon
                      products - so it is 100% our IP but 3Com does certainly
                      offer other things beyond just the hardware in support of
                      the customers.

                      And so we're very, you know, pleased to be engaged with
                      them and moving, you know, into the white box market, you
                      know, together with them. But the hardware itself is 100%
                      Marvell.

(Quinn Bolton):       Is there any revenue sharing -- and I'm sure you won't be
                      able to give us the details if there is -- but is there
                      revenue sharing on the actual gig-E controller as part of
                      that arrangement or does 3Com get - you know, what's the
                      benefits of 3Com?

George Hervey:        Well you're right. We won't go into the details of that.
                      But I think it's a - both companies are pleased with the
                      business relationship.

(Quinn Bolton):       Okay. Second question is just you talked about the
                      opportunity in the ramp at Western Dig. You know, on some
                      of their comments they said that they've seen some pretty
                      good demand for the Legacy 40 gig per platform.

                      I'm just wondering if you've seen any change to your
                      forecasted ramp at Western Digital given the customer
                      demand for some of the Legacy platforms?

George Hervey:        Yeah again we're not going to go into detail about, you
                      know, specific customers. Again I think, you know, you
                      need to go and ask WD how - and I think they've already
                      commented on that. So I think we'll leave it at that.

(Quinn Bolton):       Okay. And then finally just Sehat had mentioned sort of a
                      increased target focus on the consumer platforms over, you
                      know, sort over the next few years. And I'm just sort of
                      wondering to the extent that more and more business comes
                      from consumer how do you keep the margins above 50%, 52%
                      percent.

Sehat Sutardja:       Okay. Consumers - margin is a function of value. We do
                      believe certain area of consumer product can command
                      higher margin - maybe possibly higher margins than the PC
                      market.

                      The PC market is being commoditized. Everybody has the
                      same solutions or perceived to have the same solutions
                      even though it might not be true in certain areas. But may
                      be perceived as having similar solutions.

                      In consumers - I should say the potential of the consumers
                      - if we leverage advanced technology that we have
                      developed over the years the invention of

                      products be significantly better than - I mean to have
                      products that did not exist today - that doesn't exist
                      today - we do believe that the - for a company that can
                      deliver those products early - first to market - margins
                      should be reasonable.

George Hervey:        Right. I think that's consistent with our long term
                      business model which is, you know, we have set at 52% to
                      contemplate, you know, that all these various areas that
                      we're going into some will be - as they are today - some
                      are higher than the corporate average and some are lower
                      than the corporate average.

                      The model is a blend of all the various businesses that -
                      product areas I should say - that we're involved in. But I
                      wouldn't necessarily - I agree with Sehat - I wouldn't
                      assume that margins are going down just because of the
                      consumer.

Weili Dai:            And Marvell has been known for not only providing this
                      technology we have the most efficient from the cost point
                      of view - the yield, the die size - so, you know, we're
                      very competitive.

                      And also the consumer entrance of market segment this is
                      just only additional market we're (unintelligible) on top
                      of the market segment we're studying today. So it's just
                      in addition to what we have today.

George Hervey:        Right.

(Quinn Bolton):       So to sum up from where we stand today no reason to change
                      the long term gross margin target of 52%?

George Hervey:        No actually not.

(Quinn Bolton):       Thank you.

Operator:             Your next question is from (Aluc Sha) with Pacific Crest.

(Aluc Sha):           Hi guys. Good quarter. Two questions for you. George you
                      mentioned a couple times on this conference call you have
                      better visibility. Can you kind of give us a feel of that?
                      I mean, what does that mean? Is it better lead time? Do
                      you fully booked for the quarter? And then I'll follow-up
                      with my second question.

George Hervey:        Sure. The - our storage business is pretty much consistent
                      with where it's been before which is basically we are
                      fully booked, you know, as we enter a quarter because of
                      the nature of that business, the customization of the
                      products, and the need by our customers to ensure a source
                      of supply, you know, they do give us excellent visibility
                      going forward.

                      The com business has not been quite as - you know, doesn't
                      follow that pattern quite as closely. And, you know, we've
                      commented over the last several quarters that, you know,
                      we would need, you know, anywhere from 30% to 50%, you
                      know, "turns" -- which is not really turns it's really
                      fill-in in a given quarter.

                      I would say right now that that number is significantly
                      less than 30% at this point.

(Aluc Sha):           And what has it historically been going into the quarter?

George Hervey:        It's been a least 40% to 50%.

(Aluc Sha):           Okay. And then my second question real quickly on the
                      802.11g we saw the announcement earlier this week. Do you
                      have a customer now or is this just a product announcement
                      that you think will lead to a customer some time this
                      quarter?

Sehat Sutardja:       We are working with a number of customers but again we
                      cannot disclose those names yet.

(Aluc Sha):           Okay. But we haven't seen an official (unintelligible)
                      from any of those customers yet?

George Hervey:        Probably won't still for another couple quarters. We're
                      anticipating g revenue in the second half of this year.

(Aluc Sha):           Okay. Great. Thank you.

Operator:             Your next question is from Charlie Glavin with Think
                      Equity.

Charlie Glavin:       Let me just echo guys wow on both the quarter and the
                      guidance.

                      And at the risk George - having known you for a while of
                      adding more fuel to the flame - when I look at the ramp on
                      both - or the layout of (canterwood) as well as Springdale
                      along with the prices for Intel's motherboard it would
                      seem that if anything that if Intel takes its prices down
                      from the 85 to 105 range - down closer to the 45 of the
                      845 - and the way I look at 6 of the (canterwoods) don't
                      have gigabits and 3 or 4 of the (Microstars) didn't have
                      gigabit.

                      If this transition is going this well and you've got this
                      sort of visibility with - per the price cuts that we're
                      hearing out of Asia already planned in September,

                      does your guidance actually include the possibility of say
                      those motherboards filling out with more gigabits. Or is
                      that pretty standard? If you take a look at 6 of the 16
                      not being there that looks like - and granted that you can
                      over extrapolate but that would assume maybe 50% to 60%
                      penetration.

                      Or maybe Sehat another way of looking at - based on what
                      you're seeing right now with gigabits what are you looking
                      for the penetration as we enter into the Labor Day and
                      maybe the end of the year?

George Hervey:        I think the way we'd like to probably address that Charlie
                      is to say that the best data we could come up with was
                      that the penetration level exiting last year into the
                      client was somewhere between 30% to 40%.

                      We believe that by the time we get to Q4 of this year --
                      and now of course this would be the EOM market plus the
                      white box market -- as a total provider to the client Q4
                      most likely would be the peak of dollar revenue at that
                      point.

                      So that means that there's a lot of additional volume to
                      be, you know, brought forth as we go through the rest of
                      the year.

Charlie Glavin:       And George or Sehat when you take a look at let's say
                      Microstar as a example they had only one Intel specific
                      board, one Realtech and the rest were - you know, outside
                      of those three that were non-gigabit - is it safe to
                      assume that those are solutions that are being used with
                      Marvell.

                      And I guess maybe the other question is given the expense
                      of the board are we seeing actually people not necessarily
                      putting the integrated LAN on motherboard but rather
                      looking for more of a support on the NIC side and thus
                      opening up more for the 3Com.

Sehat Sutardja:       The first Ethernet is quickly getting out of favor on the
                      business PCs and white boxes. When we - some of the first
                      Ethernet designs are still there. It's simply for
                      negotiations in pricings to obtain lower cost gigabits.

                      So we do expect that this will go away pretty soon by the
                      end of this year because people will - customers will not
                      - the end users will not (unintelligible) with inferior
                      (unintelligible) solutions if they can buy gigabits
                      elsewhere.

                      So, I mean, I'm not- I cannot predict how many percentage
                      will stick with (unintelligible) but I just don't see why
                      do you want - similar question - why would anyone want to
                      have a USB1 instead of USB2.

Charlie Glavin:       Right. Agreed Sehat. Actually you opened up one - if I
                      could - for a follow-up. You mention as far as the
                      commercial standpoint - George if I'm not mistaken you
                      guys announced some laptop design wins but I don't believe
                      you've formally announced who they are.

                      I know - I believe that they started ramping six to eight
                      weeks ago. Are you guys in a position - particularly going
                      in since laptops have been ramping ahead of desktops on
                      the hard disk drive as far as who your bigger customers
                      and could you elaborate on some of those opportunities as
                      well?

George Hervey:        Some of the drives now Charlie?

Charlie Glavin:       Yes on the drives.

George Hervey:        Yeah well, I mean, we have three traditional, you know, as
                      always the guys that we are participating with - Toshiba
                      - you know, which we have a very long relationship with
                      and a very strong relationship. Obviously Hitachi is

                      also a big player which we again provide them 100% of
                      their opportunity. And of course we are now actively
                      engaged with Fujitsu as well - who is a significant player
                      in the mobile sector.

Charlie Glavin:       And do you see significant upside from there?

George Hervey:        Yeah I think the, you know, we're just very positive about
                      the market conditions right now. They seem to be getting
                      better.

Sehat Sutardja:       Plus the price of laptops are going down. (Unintelligible)
                      prices are getting more reasonable. Flat panels are
                      getting more reasonable prices. A lot of people are buying
                      laptops for their second machines.

Charlie Glavin:       Right. And (unintelligible) certainly help out with the
                      thermals as well. Thanks guys. Again great quarter.

Operator:             Your next question is from (Mark Litakis) with Prudential
                      Securities.

(Mark Litakis):       Yeah thank you. A question on serial ATA. Sehat I think I
                      didn't quite catch all the comments that you made there.
                      Did you say that you expected a unit crossover between
                      serial ATA and parallel in 2004? And does that assume that
                      100GB drives surpass 80GB drives at that time?

                      Along with that I'm also interested in understanding when
                      do you expect material production revenues for the serial
                      ATA products. And to what extent do you envision the
                      serial ATA product being sold as a stand alone product
                      versus being integrated into the system on chip. Thank
                      you.

Sehat Sutardja:       Sure. Serial ATA is beyond - a lot of people talk about
                      serial ATA just like - treating serial ATA like just
                      another interface. Serial ATA is beyond parallel ATA. The
                      performance - the data rate can support is actually- it's
                      a must as we go to the next generation storage
                      applications.

                      So by next year the storage devices - especially the high
                      end desk tops - I mean the desktop because of the business
                      PCs - if you don't serial ATA they will have lower
                      performance compared to ones that only have a parallel
                      ATA. So that's on the technology side.

                      Now on the business side - on the market side you'll see
                      Springdale supporting serial ATA basically on the
                      motherboard so that creates basically a demand -- instant
                      demand -- for serial ATA. So that allows the transition
                      from parallel ATA to serial ATA much smoother because of
                      this dual support for parallel ATA and serial ATA.

                      But I will say that future generations of chip sets, I
                      mean, that doesn't make sense to support as many as the
                      parallel ATA supports the future generations of chip sets.
                      So most of those things will go to serial ATA and with
                      more drives coming what the serial ATA naturally - I mean
                      natively the transition will happen within a year.

(Mark Litakis):       And when we think about building our models for this part
                      of your business should we think about this in terms of
                      you integrating this into the SOC and then that
                      functionality slowing down the normal price erosion. Or
                      should we think about this as something that's sold as a
                      separate component that you guys get, you know, an extra
                      revenue per unit from.

George Hervey:        Yeah well I think you remember (Mark) there's just really
                      two markets there as Sehat has been describing in the PC
                      market. There I think you should assume that in the target
                      drive, yes, it's going to go into an SOC. And we hope that
                      will be another factor that allows us to, you know,
                      achieve a decent ASP on that product as it gets integrated
                      into the bigger product.

                      But remember that we're also on the host side within the
                      system electronics now with - for example being our 8-port
                      device there. And therefore those will, you know, stay as
                      individual discreet solutions moving forward for the RAID
                      market.
