Non-GAAP profit quadrupled to 24 cents a share.

Revenue rose 28 percent to $842.6 million from $656.7 million a year earlier.

Wall Street analysts had been expecting Marvell to post non-GAAP profit of 21 cents a share on revenue of $836 million, according to Reuters Estimates.

"The results for our second quarter were better than we had anticipated," said Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in a statement.

"We also continued to realize recurring benefits from our improved efficiency."
