Question-and-Answer Session

[Operator Instructions]. Your first question comes from the line of Allan Mishan with Oppenheimer. Please proceed with your question.

Allan Mishan - Oppenheimer & Company

Guys, can you talk about the content that you would get in a SSD controller or would that be higher or lower than what you get today, in a hard disc drive?

Dr. Sehat Sutardja - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

I would say, depends on the target markets for very, very low capacities probably either similar or slightly lower in the long run. But, initially will be higher. It all... again all depends on the volume. But in the very high end I will say quite a bit higher than the traditional hard drives associated.

Allan Mishan - Oppenheimer & Company

Okay, great. And then on Fujitsu win, is that for a hard disc controller or is than of reduction in SoC?

Dr. Sehat Sutardja - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

It's an SoC, specifically SAS so [indescribable] also a very high enterprise class application.

Allan Mishan - Oppenheimer & Company

Okay. And does Marvell supply SAS hard disc controller to producer today or is that all being supplied by another supplier?

Dr. Sehat Sutardja - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

It supplied by another supplier at this point.

Allan Mishan - Oppenheimer & Company

Okay thanks very much and congratulations on the win.

Dr. Sehat Sutardja - Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Thank you.

Operator

Your next question comes from the line of Craig Ellis with Citi. Please proceed with your question.

Craig Ellis - Citigroup Global Markets

Thanks guys. Quite you can help us understand that as you come abode and you look at operating expenses, what opportunity is there to control operating expenses to an even greater level than what we've seen in the last few quarters?

Clyde R. Hosein - Chief Financial Officer

I think it's still early for me to describe what those areas are, I think that I found in press release the revenue growth opportunities and I think you will see that in the next few quarters from mobile, even within that other than some quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, our intensions or current intensions to keep OpEx flat and leverage that with the revenue growth.

Craig Ellis - Citigroup Global Markets

Okay. And then switching to the top line in the outlook, as we think about the sequential guidance that you provided, how should we think about what the relative strengths and weakness are on our product line basis climb?
