SANTA CLARA, Calif. and
TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), a world leader in storage,
cloud infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT), connectivity and
multimedia semiconductor solutions, today announced the
availability of production samples of the industry's first
ARM® Cortex®-A72 based system-on-chip
(SoC) families built on Marvell's ground-breaking MoChi™
architecture, the Marvell® ARMADA® 7000 and
8000. Marvell's ARMADA 7000 and 8000 families are scalable and are
ideally suited for a wide range of IP appliances, data center,
enterprise, small-to-medium business (SMB), and small office home
office (SoHo) applications. The Marvell ARMADA 7000 (88F70x0) and
8000 (88F80x0) each feature dual- and quad-core ARM
Cortex-A72 processors, delivering a high level of
integration and efficiency as well as leading performance and
power. These new offerings further strengthen Marvell's embedded
processor leadership, expanding its award-winning ARMADA product
suite. Both device families are already sampling with Tier-1
vendors around the globe and are in active designs.
The ARMADA 7000 and 8000 each feature a MoChi interface which
enables driver-transparent expansion beyond the standard devices
offering. All the connected MoChi modules appear to the ARMADA 7000
or 8000 driver as an integrated function, enabling a virtual
system-on-chip (Marvell vSoC™) and customized I/O configurations.
The new SoC families can integrate multiple 10GE ports with packet
processor and additional offload engines for security and storage
with full CPU and I/O virtualization.
"Marvell's new ARMADA SoC technology builds on our long history
of design and innovation in the networking ecosystem, offering
superior power and performance advantages that are ideal for
virtual IP appliances and network function virtualization in the
public cloud and enterprise markets," said Michael Zimmerman, Vice President and General
Manager, Connectivity, Storage and Infrastructure (CSI) Business
Units at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. "Areas in compute,
scalability, and the software ecosystem are increasingly being
presented with challenges across many industries. We believe we
have addressed these challenges head on by leveraging our MoChi
architecture. Our new SoCs are designed to deliver top performance,
efficiency and design integration, and support full virtualization.
We are already witnessing great success with our global Tier-1
vendors."
"The growth of IoT-driven data requires a network infrastructure
that deploys scalable and flexible compute solutions across the
entire network," said Nandan Nayampally, Vice President of
Marketing and Strategy, CPU Group, ARM. "The ARMADA 7000 and 8000
SoCs take advantage of the increased throughput and efficiency
inherent in the Cortex-A72 core. Coupled with Marvell's MoChi
technology, these SoCs enable the development of high performance
and efficient platforms for SoHo, SMB, enterprise, and data center
class applications."
