Connectivity for AI in the Million XPU Era
By Xi Wang, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Connectivity, Marvell
AI has been a huge catalyst for the adoption of connectivity in networks.
Already, operators are deploying AI data centers with over 200,000 GPUs—and they’re moving even faster towards 1 million XPUs. Driven by the increase in bandwidth and the growing size and number of clusters needed for AI applications, we are in a massive growth market for interconnect solutions. Accordingly, the optical interconnect global market has doubled since 2020 to nearly 20 billion dollars in 2025, and it is expected to double again by 2030, with an industry CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of about 18%.1

Marvell Ranks on the A-List of CDP Supplier Engagement Leaders
By Alua Suleimenova, Senior Sustainability Program Manager, and Vienna Alexander, Marketing Content Professional
Marvell has achieved an A-list ranking in the CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment for the 2024 reporting cycle. Reaching this first-time accomplishment recognizes the company’s efforts and leadership in climate targets, climate risk assessment and management, and engaging with suppliers on climate action and sustainability.
The CDP is the largest sustainability disclosure platform that evaluates how companies are doing in terms of climate action. Specifically, its Supplier Engagement module grades companies’ performance on sustainability governance and business strategy, climate targets, climate risk management processes and Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which can result from activities outside of companies’ four walls like those from outsourced manufacturing suppliers.

Chiplets Turn 10: Here are Ten Things to Know
By Michael Kanellos, Head of Influencer Relations, Marvell
Chiplets—devices made up of smaller, specialized cores linked together to function like a unified device—have dramatically transformed semiconductors over the past decade. Here’s a quick overview of their history and where the design concept goes next.
1. Initially, they went by the name RAMP
In 2006, Dave Patterson, the storied professor of computer science at UC Berkeley, and his lab published a paper describing how semiconductors will shift from monolithic silicon to devices where different dies are connected and combined into a package that, to the rest of the system, acts like a single device.1
While the paper also coined the term chiplet, the Berkeley team preferred RAMP (Research Accelerator for Multiple Processors).
2. In Silicon Valley fashion, the early R&D took place in a garage
Marvell co-founder and former CEO Sehat Sutardja started experimenting with combining different chips into a unified package in the 2010s in his garage, according to journalist Junko Yoshida.2 In 2015, he unveiled the MoChi (Modular Chip) concept, often credited as the first commercial platform for chiplets, in a keynote at ISSCC in February 2015.3
The first products came out a few months later in October.
“The introduction of Marvell’s AP806 MoChi module is the first step in creating a new process that can change the way that the industry designs chips,” wrote Linley Gwennap in Microprocessor Report.4
