[{"type":"text","content":"5nm multi-gigabit copper Ethernet PHY platform based on a new architecture to deliver dramatic reductions in power.Alaska® M 3610, the first chip based on the platform, reduces PHY power by more than 50% while delivering up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth for Wi-Fi 7. The product is the first in a portfolio of 5nm products from Marvell to enable higher bandwidth and energy efficient enterprise networks.SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today introduced its technology platform for 5nm multi-gigabit copper Ethernet PHYs to enable enterprise network equipment manufacturers and others to meet the exacting energy efficiency and performance targets of next generation multi-gigabit network technologies such as Wi-Fi 7. \nA critical technology found across data infrastructure networks, PHYs handle the transfer of digital data between the copper, fiberoptic and wireless systems that collectively make up today's networks. Any given packet will likely pass through a multitude of PHYs during a single transmission through a network. Innovations in PHY technology are critical to deliver the enhanced bandwidth, reach, link performance, and security required by the exponentially growing interconnect needs of the modern data infrastructure.\nMarvell's 5nm multi-gig PHY platform is based around optimized circuit designs, custom digital logic, enhanced DSP algorithms and other innovations to deliver 10 Gbps performance at half the power of previous generation devices from Marvell. The platform will serve as the building block for additional standalone PHYs, integrated SoCs, and custom ASICs optimized for specific markets and applications.\nReducing PHY power consumption gives equipment manufacturers greater flexibility in product design: heat sinks and fans can be reduced in size or eliminated, a greater portion of the power envelope can be redirected to other features to boost performance, and/or overall power can be reduced to help end users meet sustainable IT goals. A leader in multi-gigabit PHYs with four generations of PHYs already in production, Marvell's Alaska M multi-gigabit PHYs and the Prestera® 2500, 3500, and 4500 series switches have been purpose-built to accelerate the multi-gigabit transition in enterprise networks.\n\"PHYs a...
