With the hyperscalers developing their own ASIC custom silicon for datacentres, as an alternative to buying Nvidia GPUs, Nvidia aims to ensure that Marvell’s custom chips can remain compatible with Nvidia’s datacentre hardware.
Marvell is currently working with AWS, Google, Meta and and Microsoft in developing custom AI XPUs and CPUs
The Marvell-Nvidia partnership revolves around NVLink Fusion which enables developers to design semi-custom AI silicon using the NVLink interconnect to connect to Nvidia datacentre systems.
