Broadcom Unveils 7nm IP For Deep Learning ASIC Platform
Zacks Investment Research | Nov 22, 2017 09:43PM ET
Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ:AVGO) recently announced the first-ever silicon-proven 7nm intellectual property (IP) targeting application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) platform for deep learning and networking.
The IP cores are built on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (NYSE:TSM) 7nm process technology. The on-die computation required for training and inference of deep learning applications is expected to benefit from ultra-high density logic and memory of the 7nm ASIC platform.
The combination of CoWoS packaging and HBM2/3 PHY caters to high bandwidth memory interface required for next generation training in deep learning, high performance computing (HPC) and routing applications.
The platform’s SerDes cores (112G and 56G SerDes) are beneficial for switching and routing applications and inter-node connections in HPC applications and deep learning. The IP portfolio also supports SoC integration for 5G requirements.
We believe this to aid Broadcom’s top-line growth going ahead.
