SANTA
CLARA, Calif., March 7,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor
solutions, is extending its collaboration with TSMC to develop the
industry's first technology platform to produce 2nm semiconductors
optimized for accelerated infrastructure.
Behind the Marvell 2nm platform
is the company's industry-leading IP portfolio that covers the full
spectrum of infrastructure requirements, including high-speed
long-reach SerDes at speeds beyond 200 Gbps, processor subsystems,
encryption engines, system-on-chip fabrics, chip-to-chip
interconnects, and a variety of high-bandwidth physical layer
interfaces for compute, memory, networking and storage
architectures. These technologies will serve as the foundation for
producing cloud-optimized custom compute accelerators, Ethernet
switches, optical and copper interconnect digital signal
processors, and other devices for powering AI clusters, cloud data
centers and other accelerated infrastructure.
Investing in platform components like interconnects and advanced
packaging is imperative for accelerated infrastructure:
breakthroughs at the platform level alleviate data bottlenecks that
can hinder performance of the entire system as well as reduce the
cost and time-to-market for multichip solutions geared at running
the most complex applications.
"Tomorrow's artificial intelligence workloads will require
significant and substantial gains in performance, power, area, and
transistor density. The 2nm platform will enable Marvell to deliver highly differentiated
analog, mixed-signal, and foundational IP to build accelerated
infrastructure capable of delivering on the promise of AI," 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."
"TSMC is pleased to collaborate with Marvell in pioneering a platform for advancing
accelerated infrastructure on our 2nm process technology," said
Kevin Zhang, senior vice president
of business development at TSMC. "We are looking forward to our
continued collaboration with Marvell in the development of leading-edge
connectivity and compute products utilizing TSMC's best-in-class
process and packaging technologies."
Marvell moved from being a fast
follower to a leader in bringing advanced node technology to
infrastructure silicon with its 5nm platform. Marvell followed the achievement with several
5nm designs and the first portfolio for infrastructure silicon on
TSMC 3nm processes.
"We take a modular approach to semiconductor design R&D,
focusing first on qualifying foundational analog, mixed-signal IP
and advanced packaging that can be used across a broad spectrum of
devices," Bharathi said. "This allows us to bring innovations such
as process manufacturing advances faster to market."
