Traditionally, information infrastructure producers and cloud information middle operators have had to decide on between securing commonplace merchandise or a full customized silicon resolution designed in-house, whereas creating or licensing foundational IP as wanted. Now, for the primary time, Marvell is providing full entry to its broad and rising portfolio of industry-leading information infrastructure commonplace product IP and applied sciences, which may be built-in and enabled in customized ASIC options on the most superior know-how nodes.
With its legacy as a part of IBM, GlobalFoundries and AveraSemi, the Marvell ASIC staff brings a long time of experience with the customized ASIC mannequin throughout 14 leading-process nodes and has produced over 2,000 customized ASICs.
“The future of compute requires scalable and highly optimized solutions that can power the data center all the way to the network edge,” mentioned Mohamed Awad, vice chairman of Marketing, Infrastructure Line of Business, Arm. “Marvell brings a fresh and differentiated approach to addressing these requirements by uniquely utilizing Arm platforms to improve power, performance, and time-to-market for our mutual partners.”
“Marvell custom ASIC has a rich history in significant customization, advanced interfaces and memory solutions. Our ability to pull optimized components, like the Arm processor subsystem, from across Marvell’s product portfolio adds a whole new dimension to what we can deliver,” mentioned Kevin O’Buckley, normal supervisor of the ASIC BU at Marvell. “The breadth of Marvell’s infrastructure technology portfolio is unique in the industry – and is available in one comprehensive offering. We see this as an opportunity to deliver greater value to our existing customers while opening up possibilities for custom silicon implementations that had not previously been viable.”
“Marvell’s expanded offering unleashes new opportunities in the data center for acceleration, smartNIC, processor, security and storage offload,” mentioned Alan Weckel, founder and know-how analyst of 650 Group. “Marvell’s early push into 5 nm and beyond enables them to use the most advanced technologies with cutting edge interface and processor IP to build powerful and optimized ASIC solutions for data center and switching applications ranging from hyperscalers to service providers to enterprises.”
