SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell
(NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced a unique custom ASIC offering that
addresses the stringent requirements of next generation 5G
carriers, cloud data centers, enterprise and automotive
applications. Marvell's comprehensive custom ASIC solution enables
a multitude of customization options and a differentiated approach
with best-in-class standard product IP including
Arm®-based processors, embedded memories, high-speed
SerDes, networking, security and a wide range of storage controller
and accelerators in 5nm and beyond. By partnering with Marvell,
customers gain enhanced performance, power and area resulting in
accelerated time-to-market and providing optimal returns on
investment.
Traditionally, data infrastructure manufacturers and cloud data
center operators have had to choose between securing standard
products or a full custom silicon solution designed in-house, while
developing or licensing foundational IP as needed. Now, for the
first time, Marvell is offering full access to its broad and
growing portfolio of industry-leading data infrastructure standard
product IP and technologies, which can be integrated and enabled in
custom ASIC solutions at the most advanced technology nodes.
With its legacy as part of IBM, GlobalFoundries and
AveraSemi, the Marvell ASIC team brings decades of expertise with
the custom ASIC model across 14 leading-process nodes and has
produced over 2,000 custom ASICs.
"The future of compute requires scalable and highly optimized
solutions that can power the data center all the way to the network
edge," said Mohamed Awad, vice
president 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," said
Kevin O'Buckley, general manager 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," said Alan Weckel,
founder and technology analyst of 650 Group. "Marvell's early push
into 5nm 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."
