MediaCon is secondary processor produced by Marvell with its own DDR3 DRAM that handles several tasks to offload the main processor/[[APU]]: | |||
* Network connections ([[Wireless and GbLAN]], including background downloading -> [[PlayGo]] | |||
* File handling ([[Bluray Drive]], [[Harddrive]] and [[USB 3.0]]), including background caching | |||
* Main serial flash handling | |||
It is connected to its own DDR3 worker RAM [[K4B2G1646E-BCK0]], the main serial flash [[MX25L25635FMI-10G]] and SATA bridge [[MB86C311B]] etc. see also [[:File:PS4_-_SAA-001_diagram.png]] | |||

''This secundairy processor was nicknamed [[MediaCon]] by the community before any official release because of its role of handling media (online [[Wireless]]/[[GbLAN]], [[Bluray Drive]] and [[Harddrive]]) even in standby. It is not its official name (which is unknown at this moment).'' | |||
Likely connected to [[APU]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Pinout PCI_Express x4] / [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTransport HyperTransport] or simular highspeed, low tracecount bus (Marvell ASIC suggests PCI_Express). | |||
