- Marvell partnership extension builds on long-term deal for AWS
- Marvell plans to accelerate silicon design and manufacturing
- AWS continues data center compute upgrades
AWS has announced an expansion to its partnership with Marvell Technology in a bid to boost collaboration on silicon design.
The five-year agreement will see the two firms collaborate on development of several AWS products alongside work designing data center infrastructure hardware.
Through its existing partnership with Marvell, AWS said it has rapidly advanced data center compute, networking, and storage capabilities, delivering efficiency improvements and cost savings both internally and for customers.
Marvell eyes silicon efficiency gains
In a statement, Marvell Technology said the deal will include distribution of custom AI products, optical digital signal processors (DSPs), PCIe retimers, Ethernet switching silicon solutions, and more.
“Building a cost and power efficient cloud at the scale that only AWS can deliver begins with leading-edge semiconductors designed to meet the demanding infrastructure needs of our customers,” said AWS chief executive Matt Garman.
“Our expanded collaboration with Marvell enables us to deploy our comprehensive semiconductor portfolio and specialized networking hardware to advance our mission to provide the industry’s most robust and scalable cloud and AI services to our customers.”
Looking ahead, Marvell said the relationship will enable it to accelerate silicon design, with AWS compute infrastructure supporting future design activities and helping to ramp up time-to-market for product lines.
The company has already embraced a ‘cloud-first’ approach, harnessing AWS’ event-driven architecture (EDA) to improve performance and reduce costs.
“Strengthening our partnership with AWS marks a significant milestone for Marvell, deepening our long-standing relationship in cloud computing and data center semiconductors,” said Matt Murphy, Chairman and CEO at Marvell.
“AWS’s EDA solutions will help Marvell rapidly and securely scale our silicon design process and capabilities to deliver industry-leading accelerated infrastructure with best-in-class time to market.”
AWS isn’t the only major tech company Marvell has partnered with on silicon design lately.
At the OCP Global Summit in early 2024, the firm revealed its collaboration with Meta had developed a new network chip, dubbed FBNIC, aimed at enhancing the tech giant’s internal networking capabilities.
This partnership saw the creation of a Network Interface Controller (NIC) built using a 5nm process that combined custom firmware, software, and hardware.
All told, Meta said the chip had delivered significant network performance improvements.
