Nvidia is to invest $2 billion in Marvell to ensure that Marvell’s customers for datacentre ASICs have a route to compatibility with Nvidia’s computing platform. With the hyperscalers developing their own ASIC custom silicon for datacentres, as an alternative to buying Nvidia GPUs, Nvidia aims to ensure that Marvell’s custom chips can remain compatible with Nvidia’s datacentre hardware. Marvell is currently ...
Marvell has brought out the industry’s first 260-lane PCIe 6.0 switch. The Structera S PCIe 60260 switch is expected to begin sampling to customers in calendar Q3 2026. Engineering test samples of the switch are available now. Leveraging interconnect technology obtained through its recent acquisition of XConn Technologies, the switch extends the Marvell end-to-end PCIe portfolio. As AI servers integrate ...
Marvell has begun sampling its 3nm 1.6T optical DSP platform portfolio – Ara X, Ara T, Petra and Aquila M. They increase performance per watt by optimizing separately for each high-volume use case and introducing new capabilities, including: Ara T, the first 8x200G transmit-retimed optics (TRO) DSP, delivers improved power efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership in network deployments. ...
In H2 Marvell will start sampling its ZR/ZR+ and coherent DSP technology portfolio with its 1.6T ZR/ZR+ data center interconnect (DCI) pluggable and 2nm coherent DSPs featuring media access control security (MACsec) to securely scale AI data center connectivity. Marvell also introduced Libra, a 2nm 800G ZR/ZR+ coherent DSP, which enables a lower-power, second-generation COLORZ 800 pluggable. The products, now with ...
Marvell is to buy XConn, the PCIe and CXL switching silicon specialist, for $540m – 60% in cash and 40% in stock. The acquisition strengthens Marvell’s Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) scale-up switch team, adding highly experienced engineering talent with deep domain expertise in high-performance switching. As AI workloads scale, datacentre system design is evolving from single-rack deployments to larger, multi-rack ...
Marvell is to buy photonics startup Celestial for $3.25bn – $1bn in cash and the rest in 27 million Marvell shares – to get it into the photonics business. “We’re going to have a silicon photonics powerhouse at Marvell when this is all done,” said Marvell CEO Matt Murphy. Datacentre architectures are changing. Systems are no longer confined to a ...
Marvell claims to have introduced the industry’s first automotive gigabit Ethernet PHY solution with integrated media access control security (MACsec) technology for secure point to point communication. MACsec technology fortifies in-vehicle networking by securing data exchange on a hop-by-hop basis and prevents Layer 2 security threats such as intrusion, man-in-the-middle, and replay attacks. Marvell’s Open Alliance TC10 compliant, dual speed ...
Marvell has launched the 88X9121P, a dual 400GbE (gigabit Ethernet) PHY transceiver with 100GbE serial electrical I/O capabilities, designed for secured high-density optical infrastructure. The device offers 256-bit MACsec encryption, class C compliant precision time protocol (PTP) timestamping and Marvell’s 112G pam4 serdes technology for high-density 400GbE and 100GbE deployments. 100G serial electrical signaling optical modules allow 1:1 mapping between ...
Marvell and Samsung are extending their collaboration to encompass infrastructure across additional segments of the radio access network (RAN). The companies have collaborated on baseband and transport processing solutions for base stations based on Marvell’s Octeon and Octeon Fusion processors. In addition, the companies are collaborating on radio unit architectures designed to meet the compute power required for the beamforming ...
Marvell has announced a dual 400GbE (gigabit Ethernet) MACsec PHY transceiver with 256-bit encryption and Class C compliant precision time protocol (PTP) timestamping. The device incorporates Marvell’s 56G pam4 serdes technology, IEEE 802.1AE 256-bit MACsec encryption and PTP timestamping. The feature set makes it suitable for for hyperscale data center, edge, enterprise and 5G infrastructure applications, Marvell says. Combined with ...
