# Marvell Technology

> Marvell Technology is a Santa Clara-based fabless semiconductor company that designs the chips underpinning modern data infrastructure. Founded in 1995, it has pivoted under CEO Matt Murphy from consumer and mobile silicon into custom AI accelerators (XPUs), electro-optics, high-speed Ethernet switching, DSPs and storage controllers. Its parts move data inside and between the hyperscale data centers run by companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet, making it one of the key merchant and custom silicon suppliers powering the AI buildout.

- **Products:** Custom XPU / Custom ASICs, Electro-optics (PAM4 DSPs, optical modules), Ethernet switches, Data Processing Units (DPUs), Storage controllers
- **Notable:** Grew to a record $8.19 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, up ~42% year over year., Built a custom XPU/ASIC business projected to surpass $10 billion in revenue by fiscal 2029., Completed transformative acquisitions of Cavium (2018) and Inphi (2021), reshaping the company toward data infrastructure.

## Products & services

- **Custom XPU / Custom ASICs** — Application-specific accelerators co-designed with hyperscalers to run AI and cloud workloads with tailored performance and power efficiency.
- **Electro-optics (PAM4 DSPs, optical modules)** — 800G and 1.6T optical interconnect technology (from the Inphi acquisition) that carries data at high speed between servers and across data centers.
- **Ethernet switches** — Data center switching silicon including 51.2T scale-out Ethernet switches for large AI clusters.
- **Data Processing Units (DPUs)** — OCTEON and related processors offloading networking, security and storage tasks from host CPUs.
- **Storage controllers** — Controllers for HDDs and SSDs - the market lineage that traces back to Marvell's original read-channel chip.
- **PCIe retimers and CXL memory controllers** — Interconnect and near-memory/memory-expansion silicon for high-bandwidth server architectures.
- **Ethernet PHYs and controllers** — Physical-layer and controller silicon for enterprise, automotive and carrier networking.
