Marvell
Marvell this week introduced its new IP technology platform specifically tailored for custom chips for accelerated infrastructure made on TSMC's 2nm-class process technologies (possibly including N2 and N2P). The platform includes technologies essential for developing cloud-optimized accelerators, Ethernet switches, and digital signal processors. "The 2nm platform will enable Marvell to deliver highly differentiated analog, mixed-signal, and foundational IP to build accelerated infrastructure," said Sandeep Bharathi, chief development officer at Marvell. "Our partnership with TSMC on our 5nm, 3nm and now 2nm platforms has been instrumental in helping Marvell expand the boundaries of what can be achieved in silicon." The 2nm platform is built on Marvell's extensive IP portfolio, which includes advanced SerDes capable of speeds beyond 200 Gbps, processor subsystems, encryption engines, SoC fabrics, and high-bandwidth...
