    Arm has published the first Chiplet System Architecture (CSA) specification, aiming to accelerate Neoverse adoption. The CSA initiative allows customers to acquire pre-built CPU dies, simplifying complex chip designs. The CSA spec covers interfaces, management, and security, hurdles to widespread merchant chiplet deployment. continue reading

  • Marvell Structera Transcends CXL Memory Expansion

    Marvell Structera A chip

    Marvell’s Structera CXL chips boost memory bandwidth and capacity. Structera A, a DPU with 16 Neoverse-V2 cores, accelerates workloads, while Structera X expands memory capacity and supports dual-host pooling. Sampling now, both accelerate encryption and compression to add security and increase effective memory capacity. continue reading

  • Intel Will Nix P-Cores and Fall Behind on Single-Thread Performance

  • Marvell Copackages Optics for Custom Silicon

    C3PO

    Marvell’s custom silicon operation now offers copackaged optics (CPO). Enabling systems to connect fiber-optic networks directly to chips such as AI accelerators (NPUs) and network switches raises per-chip bandwidth and extends interchip connectivity distances. Few companies offer CPO. Broadcom, Marvell’s main custom-silicon rival, has developed a few Ethernet switches implementing the technology and, this past continue reading

  • Serious to Laughable: Arm vs. Qualcomm LinkedIn Posts

    cover sheet to Arm vs Qualcomm legal filings

    For posterity’s sake, here are my LinkedIn posts from the Arm vs. Qualcomm trial. A key takeaway is that although I thought neither side argued well, Arm performed better but ultimately lost. Greed The Arm-Qualcomm trial has kicked off. Q has successfully portrayed Arm as greedy and obliterated Arm’s first witness. However, nothing so far continue reading
